In fact, Npcap installer will install the vanilla WinPcap in Windows XP. I don't think it should be viewed as a part of Npcap. It's just Npcap installer includes old WinPcap for convenience. I'm even thinking about removing WinPcap in the installer now, because if a XP user wants to use packet capture feature, he can just use WinPcap. Npcap and its advanced features are for Vista and later users.
