Does Not Check if Windows Firewall is Running

KevinM · 2008-04-18, 17:41

During initial installation, deploytool will throw errors if Windows Firewall is disabled.

I encountered this error and eventually figured it out by doing an advanced install.
I added "Windows Firewall Service running during install" to the requirements in the wiki manual.
This will hopefully prevent a lot of frustration.
I only tested the issue for XP SP2 and not for Vista.
I assumed the issue applies to both OSs.

As you can read in my previous post, I fixed the issue in SVN not to force users have M$ firewall running...

Very cool.
I will remove the wiki manual entry that I added when RC2 comes out and includes your fix.
