Did you follow the windows specific instructions here: https://github.com/pynetwork/pypcap#installation-from-sources?

(note: you should have in the parent directory a folder called wpdpack)

python2.7 copy only -->> path_python2\ Library <<--

This solves the problem then

error: command 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\HostX86\x64\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2

The command didn't succeed because pcap.h is not found.
Try:
sudo apt-get install libpcap-dev

Noting this seems to be similar to issue #35

[oO0oO0oO0o0o00]

Won't the solution from #35 work?

@drebbe-intrepid thanks for those instructions. Do you think we should update the readme for windows to include that information? I don't have a windows machine available at the moment (and limited windows experience), but I would be very glad to review and merge a PR!
