Is there a way to perform a silent installation of WinPcap?

You can't perform a silent installation of WinPcap because the company removed this feature from the installation package. However, there is a form of a silent installation available for WinPcap Pro, but since the package is almost 4000 $, it has no meaning to purchase it just for this feature.
If you use WinPcap from Wireshark, for example, you can append /S to the installation and it will install properly.
WinPcap is a packet capture. It acts as a middle man between the sender and receiver. It captures data in packets that you can analyze later. It does not allow you to connect two units together as it works independently while supervised with an application configured to use its capture filters and protocols.
This allows certain programs to monitor and record network traffic. If you use some tools, including Wireshark and StreamTransport, it will allow these to operate correctly.
