I downloaded this new U3P package and tried it on my U3 flash drive.
When you run it, it installs WinPcap (regular WinPcap installer) and
when you exit WireShark it brings up Uninstall WinPcap application.
I was just testing it out, etc myself also, as I just recently picked
up a U3 drive. I needed a bigger portable thumb drive and found a deal
on one w/U3 - wasn't looking for U3 specifically.
So for now I think I'll stick to using regular install of WireShark so
I don't have to deal with WinPcap every time I use WireShark.

Thanks Hans--that looks pretty slick.
In this case though I would like to use the current version of Wireshark
and I'm wondering if this U3P package allows Wireshark to run from a
flash drive without installing anything on the host including WinPcap.
This would be especially appealing to me--but I'm not sure it's
possible, especially with the WinPcap part.
Thanks,
