Windows XP service pack 2 broke the tcptrace build that we have on
the website. That's OK, because that version of tcptrace is broken
in more ways than I'd like to count - so you shouldn't run it
anyway. You're going to need to figure out how to build it from
source (I think there's a document on how to do this somewhere,
either in the source code tarball or on the website, but I could be
wrong)... No one currently working on the tcptrace project has any
knowledge or interest in windows, so there aren't up-to-date
binaries for it.
