Install winpcap silently

Question

I want to make a C program which uses winpcap. However, I first need to install the winpcap package into my PC using the installer before I can execute my program. How do I make my program do it (perform the actions of the winpcap installer) automatically?

Have you tried these methods yet? http://paperlined.org/apps/wireshark/winpcap_silent_install.html

Answer 2

Take a look at WinPcap Pro. It allows you to use WinPcap as a DLL, not requiring installation. Also, as far as I can gather from their website, this is the only legal way to distribute WinPcap with silent installation.
