Today I wanted to sniff broadcast packets within a customer network, so I download and installed Wireshark (Wireshark-win64-1.8.2.exe) on my new Windows 8 x64 Installation. WinPcap couldn’t be installed. I only got the message “This version of Windows is not supported by WinPcap 4.1.2. The Installation will be aborted”.

After the installation you can use wireshark as always:
