Research direction

Start with install.log and NPFInstall.log to trace the Npcap1.71-to-1.75 update and the 0x800f0203 service-creation failure. Reproduce the upgrade if possible and use the logs to identify the failing installation step; done means this update scenario is understood and the Npcap service can be created successfully.
