jpcap.dll on a 64 bit system?

Hey i was using the Jpcap API on my system. It requires you to put a copy of jpcap.dll in the system32 folder. The problem is that it doesnt work on my 64 bit system.

I tried running a program in eclipse n it gave the following error -

"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\Windows\System32\jpcap.dll: Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform "

Is there a 64bit version of Jpcap.dll or how do i convert it or run on a 64 bit machine ?

There is another library, jnetpcap, that has both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows versions. I don't know whether the API is in any way compatible with Jpcap, but if there is a dying need to use WinPCap through Java on Windows x64 this might be an option.

This library also seems to be more maintained than Jpcap. Jpcap's last update according to it's main website is 2007, jnetpcap has had updates this year (as of 2012-11-09).

Even I don't know why this problem actually arises but I solved this problem by installing a 32-bit JDK rather than a 64-bit and it works absolutely fine.

You can give it a try.
