Question

i try to install manually winPcap with for GNS3-gui on windows :

1. 7zip to extract winPcap4.1.3.exe

2.try regSrv32.exe the 3x dll (e.g %systemRoot%\sysWow64\packet.dll) but error

3. create service (npf.sys) (%systemRoot%\system32\drivers) but when i check my sc query npf\Output: win32_exit_code 1275

so my service npf stopped & error when i try to start it

• it's normal if i have exitCode 1275 when i install winPcap with GUI, i have 0 & all work but i don't want the gui only cli

so, someone can help me please i'm new with create file *.sys so, maybe something i forgot ?
