Portable Ethereal

  

Lately I've been getting into using portable applications.  Many
open-source programs have had portable versions made (firefox, vlc, open
office, etc...).  I wanted to make Ethereal portable, and am about 99%
of the way there.  

 

I have instructions on my blog (I know) at http://peubanks.blogspot.com/

 

Now then, there's just one thing missing from the equation - npf.sys
(Part of WinPcap)has to reside on the local machine.  Is there a way to
redirect Ethereal to look for npf.sys in another location besides
%systemroot%\system32\drivers?  Perhaps point the program to look for
that sys file in a self-contained directory where the rest of the
portable program resides?  

 

Or maybe there's an easier way I'm not aware of?
