Hello, I'm using Wireshark Portable and I want to to use extcap with it (the ones for sniffing zigbee packets). In a normal life I could just copy the extap files in the folder {USER}\AppData\Roaming\Wireshark\extcap and let wireshark run. But I want to be able to use WiresharkPortable directly from my USB key without copying the files (for simple users). I tried a lot of things : - putting files in the folder "WiresharkPortable\App\Wireshark\extcap" - Changing the "Personal Extcap path" to point to a specific folder with my desired files Nothing worked out, do you have any idea ? Thanks and see you

For the Wireshark 4.0.7 PortableApp, if I look at "Help -> About Wireshark -> Folders -> Personal Extcap path", mine is set to "D:\PortableApps\WiresharkPortable64\Data\extcap", not "WiresharkPortable\App\Wireshark\extcap". Can you verify your folder and ensure that you place your extcaps in the expected location?

I'm not sure what you mean exactly. I installed the Wireshark Portable on a USB drive and when it's plugged into a computer, the drive is automatically assigned a drive letter, whether that's D, E, or whatever. You don't have to copy anything to a computer, you just run Wireshark Portable directly from the USB drive from the PortableApps menu.
