The WinPcap 3.0 installer installs a service, "Remote
Packet Capture Protocol v.0 (experimental)", which
executes the file rpcapd.exe.  The purpose of this
service is to provide remote capture.  However, our
clients are concerned with potential security issues
involved with having such a service present on their
systems (even if inactive by default).  Is there a way
to customize the WinPcap installer (e.g. using a
script) to prevent the install of this service and
corresponding executable?  If not, may our installer
simply remove the service entry from the Windows
services panel and then delete the file rpcapd.exe? 
If our installer does remove the remote capture
capability from WinPcap as described, will WinPcap
still function correctly?
