Windows 10: WinPcap

I am getting the 'No network driver compatible' for WinPcap - any suggestions?

:)

 

Nessus install interrupted by WinPcap

Why is Nessus installation interrupted by WinPcap? I have a Windows 10 Pro PC with Wireshark and nmap installed, so I know I have WinPcap is already installed, but why is this completely shutting out my Nessus install? it is Nessus version 6.8 64-bit. I don't have a clue why this doesn't offer an alternative, it's the "earlier WinPcap already installed" click OK only, and when I do the Nessus install is canceled. What gives?

I just dealt with Tenable on this issue. For some reason, they want to continue working with an older version of WinPCap. After nearly an hour of trying different alternatives, we were finally able to upgrade to the latest version oif Nessus professional, but it was painful and I really did not get satisfaction of why they couldn't handle a newer version of winpcap or other alternatives that are now available.

Sigh.

 

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'wpcap.lib' when downloading Python module

I am trying to download a python module (PySOEM) on my laptop running windows 10. After running "pip install --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org pysoem" from the command prompt, I receive the error "LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'wpcap.lib' ".

The Github page for the PySOEM module lists WinPcap as a requirement. I believe this error is occuring because I don't have WinPcap installed, as it isn't supported on Windows 10. I tried installing Npcap (alternative to WinPcap) in “WinPcap Compatible Mode”, but this did not fix the issue.

Any suggestions?
