Wireshark · Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] SnMP MIBs will not install if system drive isn't " C "

["Ethereal ( newbie at packet analysis )" <ethereal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wasn't able to ethereal if all the selected components were selected...

 

SNMP MIB's want to be installed in the " C " drive...

 

I don't have a " C " drive..

 

My drive letters start with " F "

 

I unselected the SNMP MIBs and ethereal installed successfully

 

I'm new to packet capturing and analysis....

 

Do i need the SNMP MIBs to capture and analyze captured packets?

 

Thanks in advance...

 

I've attached a file that shows etheral failing to install because the

MIBs want to be installed in drive " C "...

 

Apparently this is hard coded and should actually accept the

path selected for ethereal...

 

-simply grateful
