    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.

    I've setup my HDHomeRun in MP1 as (4) IPTV cards rather than Atsc. I can see the (4) Atsc cards, but just have them disabled.

    O Frabjous Joy! That seems to have done the trick. Thank you so much for your help and advice, CyberSimian. I hadn't thought of deleting the various folders, but I'll bear that in mind for any future disasters. Now I can record King & Conqueror on Sunday! Cheers Ralph
