Description

When I download Wireshark on my pc I get halfway through the download and the the download for npcap pops up and then disappears and does not install. I have tried downloading it separate as well and it will still not download. It stays on my screen for 4 seconds and then disappears. I am on the newest version of windows. I also have the install.txt file and NPFinstall.txt file if that is important. Thank you!

Research direction

Compare the installer behavior with a standalone Npcap installation; done means identifying a reproducible cause and documenting an actionable resolution.
