Description

Hi, I don't know how to speak English very well, but I will do my best. I have installed Wireshark, which needs Npcap to work, the thing is that when I install, Npcap does not install for me, and Wireshark installation continues with its normal processing.

I have tried to install only the Npcap with its latest version downloaded from the main page (https://nmap.org/download.html), but what happened was that the installer appeared to me, and then it disappeared and was not installed nothing. I thought it could be because I had a damaged file, but no, I have deleted everything and reinstalled it, but it is still there.

Also, windows, when I try to find the application or make some configuration to the Npcap application in the terminal, it tells me that it does not exist or is not installed, so I don't know what to do to install it.
