I still haven't made any progress with this. I've now installed Wireshark, and 
followed these instructions to prove to myself that the NetFlow data is

https://communities.ca.com/docs/DOC-231149629

So why does this command collect no data?
nprobe /c -i none -n none --collector-port 9996 -V9 -P c:\temp\nprobe
