Much of the WinPcap API is just the pcap API, which should be *very* stable, even at the ABI level.  The Windows-specific extensions are probably pretty stable as well.  The packet.dll interface is, I think, explicitly *not* guaranteed to be stable.

Installing newer versions of Wireshark on Windows OT might require you to manually install the older version of WinPcap, however.
