Research direction

Start by reproducing the Npcap installer failure on the reported Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 environments and capture the exact error, which the issue body does not include. Investigate the installer’s service-creation path; done means the Npcap service is created successfully during installation on the affected systems.
