Michael,

You'll find the Npcap 0.99-r2 installer will work fine on 32-bit Windows: <https://nmap.org/npcap/#download>https://nmap.org/npcap/#download

Michael,

Thanks so much again for reporting this. I confirmed that we mistakenly took out the portion of the installer that stores the result of the 64-bit check, so all checks were assuming 64-bit. We'll test properly on 32-bit Windows and get a fix into the next release this week.

detailprint: Installing NDIS6.x x64 driver for Win7, Win8 and Win10

from line 86 of the install.log that I sent Dan.

Michael,

I've reviewed our installer code and I can't see specifically why the Npcap installer wouldn't work correctly on 32-bit systems. However, we did make some recent changes to 32/64-bit registry locations, so it's understandable that a bug may have slipped in.

Can you please send us your install.log and NPFInstall.log from the Npcap installation directory (Program Files\Npcap)? This will help us diagnose better. Thanks!
