Description
Just updated to version 3.2 and installed npcap in the process. Had a version running ok with WinPCap. Windows 7 x64. After successful install no adapters listed. Have reinstalled several times as well as cleaned old drivers/files, installed in safe mode, etc. I ran the fixinstall.bat inside the npcap directory and got an error:
The service name is invalid [SC] Open Service FAILED 1060: The specified service does not exist as an installed service see: net helpmsg 2185
Can't seem to revert to old version. Have tried uninstalling and manually removing drivers.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the installation on Windows 7 x64 with npcap 3.2, after reviewing the reported WinPCap-to-npcap transition and the fixinstall.bat output. Investigate why no adapters are listed and why the service is missing. Done means the installation exposes adapters and fixinstall.bat no longer reports the service error.
