Re: Wireshark fails to start with wpcap.dll built by Visual Studio 2010

[Yang Luo <hsluoyb () gmail com>]

Hi Anders,

Building with VS 2013 means the Npcap user has to get a VC 2013 redist
installed, which is not always the case (at least fewer installed than VC
2010 redist package). Actually, once a user complains that Npcap fails to
run and I found it's because of the unavailability of correct VC redist.
And, Npcap is only 600+KB and a VC redist package can be 7+MB. So it's not
good for Npcap installer to ship with a VC redist like what Wireshark
currently did. Do you have any better solutions?

Cheers,
Yang
