SniffNet Install On Windows 7 SP1

[kenrmayfield]

What's the problem?

First of All.........Excellent Work Developing SniffNet.

I Encountered a DLL Error after Installing SniffNet 1.2.1 64Bit on Windows 7 SP1 64Bit.

The Error: Entry Point Not Found and it is Referencing the DLL API-MS-WIN-CRT-STRING-L1-1-0.DLL
Yes......the DLL is in the System32 Directory. I did have to Download the DLL from DLL-FILES.COM.

It seems that Windows 7 does not come with D3DCOMPILER_47.DLL or API-MS-WIN-CRT-STRING-L1-1-0.DLL
I had to Download both 64Bit Files from DLL-FILES.COM when SniffNet Complained they were not Installed.

Is Windows 7 not Compatible with SniffNet?

Thanks,
Kenneth

How did you install the app?

downloaded one of the provided packages

Operating System

Windows

Windows 7 is compatible with Sniffnet... does it give you the same error after installing the DLL?
Also, did you install Npcap? It shouldn't be related to your error, but it's a required dependency on Windows.

Giuliano, Yes I Installed Npcap 1.75. That is what I was stating about the Error.....that I Installed the DLLs and still the Errors persist. Thanks, Kenneth

I'm sorry but I was not able to reproduce this error in any of the Windows systems I tried.
I don't know you what to suggest if not to search online if other people incurred in the same error before.

[kenrmayfield]

Can you tell me what Versions of NPCAP and Sniffnet you used for your Testing? What Versions of Windows did you Test? Thanks, Kenneth

I personally tested it on Windows 8/10/11.

But I know people that run it successfully on Windows 7 (for example: #108).

The latest NPCAP & Sniffnet version should be fine.

As mentioned in the issue I linked, I build the binary and the installer in the latest Windows version so it may cause some problems, even though usually don't.
If you want to be more sure you can clone the repo and build from source (requires a Rust installation).
If you choose to follow this path and are not familiar with Rust, just let me know and I can help you.

Giuliano, Can you Build from Windows 7 SP1 and Upload the Installer? Are these Two Dll's from the Installer for SniffNet: D3DCOMPILER_47.DLL or API-MS-WIN-CRT-STRING-L1-1-0.DLL? As mentioned before, SniffNet Complains about these Two DLL's are missing. I did state before that I Installed the Missing DLL's however I still got the Error: Entry Point Not Found and it is Referencing the DLL API-MS-WIN-CRT-STRING-L1-1-0.DLL Yes I did Install the appropriate Version of the DLL's which would be x64Bit for Windows 7 SP1 x64Bit. Let me be clear.........The Software will Install however when you Run SniffNet on Windows 7 SP1 x64Bit....... I Receive the Error as Mentioned.

Unluckily I'm unable to build on Windows 7 now...
As I said you could build yourself with cargo (installing Rust and the required build tools)
I'm sorry this problem occurred but I don't know what to suggest if you already installed the corresponding DLL

There you can also find the corresponding scoop package, where the guy of the other issue successfully installed the app: https://scoop.sh/#/apps?q=Sniffnet

@GyulyVGC,

Do you have Time to Build for Windows 7?

[GyulyVGC]

I'd have the time, but not a Windows 7 installation.
Moreover, I doubt it would solve this particular problem.
