Have you tried other versions? Like the latest 0.05-r8? And did any
versions prior to 0.05-r7 succeed in uninstalling?




Details:



System 1: Windows 7 Professional, Service Pack 1, 64 bit AMD processor



System 2: Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, Intel i7 Processor



The installation option to automatically start npcap was selected.



Problem:



On both systems, the Uninstall leaves nmap active and it restarts after
reboot.


What do you mean by "leave nmap active"? I think you referred to npcap? If
yes, does you uninstallation succeed? Can you paste the uninstallation log
here? (in the uninstallation GUI, click the "Show details" button, then the
log should show up) The last sentence of the log should be "Completed".


Cheers,
Yang





Using system restore to the previous checkpoint (time of install) does not
restore the system to the initial state, but leaves nmap active.



Using system restore to the checkpoint before does remove nmap.
