Re: Installing wireshark on a PC without administrative privileges (windows XP))

Mark,

If you don't need WinPcap don't install it. Winpcap is only needed if you
are doing packet capture directly from the network. As Winpcap is
effectively installing a driver it needs to have privilege do be able to do
that.
