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

    Wiki Manual Updated: Requirements Section

    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...

    Great!

    :D

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

    Good shout! Working when setting the network to private. Windows 7 firewall certainly doesn't behave like it does in Windows 10/11. Saved me a lot of time having to debug the code. Thanks for the tip!

    I have not seen that one but it is possible that after installing the 1.32 x86 version that I scanned and tested TV before installing the x64, but not sure it that would make any difference! I am currently testing an improved version but at this point it is still not clear how or when a fixed x64 version will be available.

If I press Next, it will start playing the next song. This happens with BASS and Wasapi players. It does not happen if I use Internal dshow player (which doesn't sound as good as either of...
