o Our WinPcap installer now starts the NPF driver running as a
service immediately upon installation and after restarts. You can
disable this with new checkboxes. This behavior is important for
Vista and Windows Server 2008 machines when User Account
Control (UAC) is enabled. [Rob Nicholls]
o Nmap and Nmap-Winpcap silent installation now works. Nmap can
be silently installed with the /S option to the installer.
If you install Nmap from the zip file, you can install just
Winpcap silently with the /S option to that
installer. [Rob Nicholls]
o Our WinPcap installer is now included with the Nmap Win32 zip
file. [Fyodor]
o Numerous miscellaneous improvements were made to our Win32
installer, such as using the "Modern" NSIS UI for WinPcap,
improving the option description labels, and showing a finish
page in all cases. [Rob Nicholls]

being installed on Vista. [Rob Nicholls]
