Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Installing wireshark on a PC without administrative privileges (windows XP))

Mark,

If you don't need WinPcap don't install it. Winpcap is only needed if you are doing packet capture directly from the network. As Winpcap is effectively installing a driver it needs to have privilege do be able to do that.

Hello,
 I need to install wireshark on a PC without administrative
privileges; (windows XP).
This PC does **not ** have winpcap installed.
When I try to install wireshark, it fails during the installation of
winpcap because
that there are not enough privielleges. Is there a way to solve this
problem ? I though of installing wireshark on disk on key, but again,
when installing
winpcap it gives me a privilege error.

Any ideas?

Rgs,
Mark
