Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] u3 not installing winpcap

Hi, I'd been using the U3 version of wireshark a (long) while ago, and it stopped automatically installing winpcap. I hadn't used it for a while, but I find myself in need of it again, so I removed it and installed the latest version (1.2.10) from the website.

As before, it asks me if I want to install winpcap, but nothing actually pops up. When I click yes, it immediately continues loading wireshark, which of course doesn't work. Does anyone have an idea how I can get that working again? It's so much nicer for it to automatically install and remove winpcap than for me to have to do it manually.

Here are my U3 specs as displayed by my "about U3" dialog.

U3 Launchpad Version: 1, 4, 0, 2
Device Version 3.27
ADAPI Version 4.5.2.0 Unicode
