- Wireshark can't actually capture local packets on windows XP due to the nature of the windows TCP stack. When packets are sent and received on the same machine they don't seem to cross the network boundary that wireshark monitors.
- Wireshark 2 preview exactly comes as download/ install option ' in the 1.12 Windows installers up to 1.12.1' In the meantime I have downloaded and installed 3 other versions just for test. Finally Wireshark 2 preview is back since we, old guys, use our old Win32 XP PCs as time machine to fly back to old good Internet times.
- Wireshark is software that 'understands' the structure of different networking protocols. Thus, it is able to display the encapsulation and the fields along with their meanings of different packets specified by different networking protocols.
The Wireshark download page lists three types of releases: Stable, Old Stable, and Development.
- The Stable release is the latest official version of Wireshark. In most cases this is the version you should use.
- The Old Stable release is an older official version of Wireshark which is still supported. You may be required to use one of these, for example if your organization has strict software approval policies.
- The Development version is used for testing new features. Use this if you need one of those features.
The Stable and Old Stable release lifetimes conform to the following guidelines:
Download Wireshark For Xp
- At least two (and preferably exactly two) branches will be supported at any given time.
- Each release shall be supported for a minimum of 18 months. Support might be extended to 24 or 30 months, e.g. for releases preceding a major change.
- Support for release X.Y ends when it reaches the end of its minimum lifetime or when version X.Y+4 is released, whichever comes later.
Download Wireshark For Windows Xp
Wireshark 3.2 is the last release that supports it. Support for Windows Vista ended on April 11, 2017. Wireshark 2.2 is the last release that supports it. Support for Windows XP ended on April 8, 2014. Wireshark 1.10 is the last release that supports it. U3 reached end of life in 2009. We stopped producing U3 packages when 1.10 reached end of life.
Depending on the pacing of major releases and their lifetimes we might have an 'Old Old Stable' branch in addition to the Stable and Old Stable ones.
See End of Life planning for life cycle information specific to each release.

End of Life planning
In order to limit the development burden, support for a (old-)stable release is eventually ended. This is the planning for abandoning old releases. A note is added why such release may still be relevant for you.

Npcap and WinPcap are Windows versions of the libpcap library. One of them must be installed in order to capture live network traffic on Windows.
The Wireshark installer from 3.0 onwards includes Npcap, where versions before include WinPcap. Even with the older Wireshark versions Npcap might work better for you, especially if you run Windows 10.
See CaptureSetup/CapturePrivileges for information about using Npcap and WinPcap with Wireshark.
The libpcap/WinPcap file format description can be found at: Development/LibpcapFileFormat
Npcap Versions
Since Npcap is just getting its first widespread exposure to the world unexpected issues may arise. Please use an updated version when possible.
See the 'Add or Remove Programs' list of the 'Control Panel' for the installed version.
WinPcap Versions
We strongly recommend that you use version 4.1.3 or 3.1. Some annoying bugs are fixed in these versions!
See the 'Add or Remove Programs' list of the 'Control Panel' for the installed version.
Latest Stable Release: 4.1.3
The current and last WinPcap release version is 4.1.3. The 4.1.x versions contain the following improvements:
- Support for Windows XP, Vista, 2008, Windows 7, 2008R2 64 bit, Windows 8 and Server 2012
- Allows remote capture to work with Wireshark
- Based on libpcap 1.0
WinPcap 4.x does not support Windows 3.1, 95, 98, or ME.
Previous Stable Release: 3.1
This version contains substantial bug fixes and extensions above the 3.0 release:
- based on libpcap 0.9.3, with many fixes and extensions above the older version
- dial-up connections (e.g. PPP) can be captured on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, as well as Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me, which were supported by previous releases
- 'can't get a list of interfaces' error fixed
See the change log for WinPcap for a more complete list (although some of those bugs might be bugs in older 3.1 betas rather than in 3.0).
Wireshark 1.10 For Windows Xp
Installation
Wireshark For Xp Download
The Wireshark installer will copy the WinPcap installer and call it, so you get installation done 'all in one place'. This is the same WinPcap installer that you can get from WinPcap's download page.
However, you might need to install WinPcap by the standalone installer, if you want to try the latest alpha/beta, or there might even be a new WinPcap release version available.
The User's Guide Installing Wireshark under Windows page will also describe how to install WinPcap.
