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.
AFAIK, it's enough to install WinPcap once on a machine, the u3p should use a WinPcap installation if available.
In fact it didn't even bothered to ask me anything about WinPcap on a machine where it was already installed ...
