Npcap is installed but Wireshark says unable to load on ARM64

edit

I'm not sure if the x86 version, running under emulation, will work with the ARM64 version of npcap

Support for loading an ARM64 DLL into an x86-64 executable may not be supported on Windows; they may only support having translated x86-64 executables load x86-64 DLLs by translating the x86-64 DLL into ARM64 at load time.

This is a known Npcap issue. ARM64 Npcap installs no x86-64 DLLs; the workaround that the person who opened that issue used is:

I was able to get x64 Wireshark to capture packets on my Arm64 Windows 11 by copying wpcap.dll and packet.dll from an x64 system to Wireshark's installation directory.

Or install the 32 bit version of Wireshark which should be able to load the x86 32 bit npcap DLLs.

Or install the 32 bit version of Wireshark which should be able to load the x86 32 bit npcap DLLs.

Are those DLLs installed when ARM64 Npcap is installed? If not, I'm not sure that installing Npcap with IA-32 Wireshark will work, as that would probably try to install IA-32 Npcap, which would probably try to install an IA-32 kernel driver, which Will Not Work on an ARM64 (or x86-64 or ARM32) system.

I was going by the npcap release notes for 1.50 that state:

Npcap can now be installed on Windows 10 for ARM64 devices. Both ARM64 and x86 DLLs will be installed, allowing existing x86 applications such as Nmap or Wireshark to run without modification.

Thank you for the suggestions. I can confirm that the following DLLs are present: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Npcap\wpcap.dll C:\Windows\System32\Npcap\wpcap.dll
