That was it. I completely uninstalled WinPCap and installed the one from the winpcap.org site and it works perfectly. I think you guess is right. That's the only thing that makes sense here. The root cause of this may be a bit difficult. -----Original Message----- From: Gianluca Varenni [mailto:gianluca.varenni () gmail com] Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2007 3:13 PM To: spamme () zztopping com; nmap-dev () insecure org Subject: Re: NPPTools.dll missing error in Vista Just to shed a bit of light on this issue (or maybe not). The error is caused by the fact that the wrong version of packet.dll is installed. In practice on some Vista systems the XP version of packet.dll is installed, and that version does not work on Vista. We have had similar reports with the standard WinPcap installation, and so far I haven't been able to track down why that happens. The only reason that I found so far is that the installer on Vista was run in "windows XP compatibility mode", causing the wrong files to be installed. But this is just an idea.

I was running the recent RC's with this same problem. I am currently running Nmap 4.50 on my home Vista machine. Yes, I know Vista sucks, but its what I got ;-) And yes, UAC is off. Anyway, my problem is that when I try to start many different nmap scans, I get the following errors: Command-line: WARNING: Could not import all necessary WinPcap functions. You may need to upgr ade to version 3.1 or higher from http://www.winpcap.org. Resorting to connect( ) mode -- Nmap may not function completely Windows pop-up: This application has failed to start because npptools.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. I get both of these simultaneously, and the scan fails. I tried installing the Microsoft Network monitor driver due to suggestions
I read on some other forums. No change. Any ideas? _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
