Comment # 10 on bug 10867 from
This is not related to x64 redirection: 
- installing the 32 bits version on a 32 bits system does not detect a
previously installed WinPcap version also fails
- detection of a previously installed Npcap works fine
The problem is that errors are not cleared after having checked whether
Wireshark was previously installed or not. When Wireshark was previously
installed, there is no error stored. But when it is not installed, error is not
cleared and lead to a false verdict when reading the WinPcap registry entry.
I will push a fix shortly.
