Duplicate of nmap/nmap#875, will be fixed in next release
@dmiller-nmap
Thanks for your confirmation.
Actually, I have checked the ticket you post there. but I didn't find the similar error message in the nmap/nmap#875. and the first error I found in the NPFInstall.log is
Error 0x8007000d: Couldn't install the network component.
I'm not sure whether this is same with nmap/nmap#875
Reopening, since this might be a new issue. If the next Npcap release (planned version number 0.95) solves it, then it was likely the same as nmap/nmap#875.
Please test Npcap 0.95 and let us know if it solves this problem.
Thanks, @dmiller-nmap I test with the latest version and I still got that error. The latest related logs uploaded. install.log NPFInstall.log DiagReport-20171023-130148.txt
Thanks for following up quickly. I'll look into this further.
@dmiller-nmap This seems always reproduced in windows 2008 R2 32 bit platform.
Ok, we have some progress. I asked a question over at MSDN Forums and got some suggestions.
First, I would like a copy of the event log file at %windir%\inf\netcfg*.etl, which you can email to me via the Nmap Support address. This should give us some indication of what is going wrong.
Second, can you identify any reason why the Windows Registry might be inconsistent or corrupted? Possible reasons for corruption of the netcfg registry given by Jeffrey Tippet in his answer are:
- 3rd-party applications (or NIC drivers) which write directly to the registry
- Sudden power loss
He suggests that uninstalling & reinstalling all the NICs from devmgmt.msc may fix the problem, but that it is not guaranteed.
Just to add the me too but I'm having the same issue with Windows R2 64bit (SBS 2011)

@tegeus Just to confirm, does your NPFInstall.log file contain Error 0x8007000d: InstallSpecifiedComponent? Can you attach the latest C:\Windows\INF\NetCfg*.etl event log or email it to [email protected]? Thanks!
@dmiller-nmap Sorry I can't find the file named netcfg*.etl under the matched directory - C:\Windows\INF. May I need to enable some functions to generate such file?
I am provisionally closing this issue since we have made significant changes since Npcap 0.95. If the original reporters are still having this problem with Npcap 0.99-r6 or later, please reopen or ask us to reopen this issue. If you are experiencing a similar issue for the first time with Npcap 0.99-r6 or later, please open a new issue.
Same issue with 0.99-r8 on Win7 pro

No NetCfg.*etl file when searching entire C:\Windows directory
Reopened due to new information posted by @dufourgilles that it still happens with 0.99-r8
I also have this issue on 0.992 bundled with Wireshark.

I had the same problem. I'm not an expert, but I think the cause was due to the certificate. I was able to complete the installation after installing the certificate.
@mircoca I'm having this error on a Windows 10 system. Trying to install version 1.0.0 of npcap. I'm trying to use the self-installer, since I don't have the know-how to use straight up source code. My ultimate goal is to be able to use Wireshark and Nmap for my networking classes.
What certificate are you talking about needing to install?
@kobijet @mircoca same issue, was it resolved for you? what certificate is to be installed
I am facing this problem....please help me for solution. operating system: windows 10 npcap version: 1.78
@tahsin9777 - your screen shot looks more like #135 given the error code. I'm closing this stale issue as it seems to have been addressed (no reports here since July 2021).
