Description
Trying to install Wireshark on a windows 10 x64 machine. End up with a 255 error during the npcap installation and hang on the line Could not load: C:\Users\mjordan\AppData\Local\Temp\nsdDB25.tmp\SimpleSC.dll. I end up having to kill the install process via task manager.
I have tried a normal install and run as administrator as well. The npcap version that Wireshark is trying to install is 1.10.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the npcap 1.10 installation on Windows 10 x64, using both a normal launch and administrator privileges, and inspect the reported SimpleSC.dll load failure and error 255. Done means the installation completes without hanging or requiring the process to be killed; the payload names no source file or test to begin with.
