Hey @stevej-algoteer have you tried installing the 32-bit version from the download page?
I think it should work also on ARM, please let me know.

[stevej-algoteer]

I haven't, actually. I avoid non-ARM64 software on my Surface Pro 11 because of the speed and battery life penalties. If it's not difficult, it would be a huge help if you could add a Windows ARM64 build whenever you do the other builds. If you don't have access to a Windows ARM64 device, I'd be happy to help you to test.

If you have Rust installed, you can build the app yourself after cloning this repository.

If you haven't then I could try building it for you.
I actually use an automated script to build all the binaries, however I'm not sure which target architecture to use for your case.
This is the list of windows-based arch from rustc:

rustc --print target-list | grep windows

aarch64-pc-windows-gnullvm
aarch64-pc-windows-msvc
aarch64-uwp-windows-msvc
arm64ec-pc-windows-msvc
i686-pc-windows-gnu
i686-pc-windows-gnullvm
i686-pc-windows-msvc
i686-uwp-windows-gnu
i686-uwp-windows-msvc
i686-win7-windows-gnu
i686-win7-windows-msvc
thumbv7a-pc-windows-msvc
thumbv7a-uwp-windows-msvc
x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
x86_64-pc-windows-gnullvm
x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
x86_64-uwp-windows-gnu
x86_64-uwp-windows-msvc
x86_64-win7-windows-gnu
x86_64-win7-windows-msvc

I don't have Rust installed and I'm not a developer, but the instruction set is referred to as both ARM64 and AArch64. UWP is deprecated, so I believe the right target is:

aarch64-pc-windows-msvc

I can install npcap and Rust, and try to build the code, but it would probably be better for a developer to build it, and if it works and tests out, add the target to the Github build workflow so that a Windows ARM64 binary is built every time that you do a release.

[GyulyVGC]

Yeah @stevej-algoteer don't worry I'll do a build for you and give you the binary to test.

If it works, I'll then put it on the download page as well.

[stevej-algoteer]

Sure. Thank you!

Please let me know if it works fine.

Remember to follow the install instructions.

[stevej-algoteer]

It works!! :-)

I can't thank you enough!
