(Wireshark) Not installing a capture driver

[lirlocker]

The Wireshark installation does not install a capture driver (Npcap preferably) and thus it doesn't show any capture interfaces.
I think it should have Npcap as a dependency or even show a link to download it.

From the documentation about arguments passed to the installer:
/S runs the installer or uninstaller silently with default values. The silent installer will not install Npcap.

Thanks.

@lirlocker The developers of npcap have explicitly refused a Chocolatey package. Therefore I can't embed or install it while installing Wireshark

Thanks for your reply, is there a way to maybe warn the user that Npcap will not be installed and that it should be installed manually?
It would probably spare some time for people searching the internet for a solution for why their interfaces aren't showing.

@lirlocker There could be a Write-Warning after installation in the package.

Feel free to submit a PR.

I'm thinking a solution to this might be to provide a chocolatey flag to disable the silent install, allowing wireshark's installer to give the user the option to bring in npcap.
