Tracy:
I tried the Inno Setup but I couldn't make it work and had little time to
investigate the reason so I stuck with installsheild which works ok for me.
Thanks for the code. My guess is that this blocks the firewall for the
execution of the program and then when the program closes the firewall is
re-enabled with
thisform.firewallaccess = .t. on program exit.
I will try this on my Win 7 box.
Thanks again!
Best regards,
Jack
Jack,
I just fired up a test box, dragged my exe utility that uses the
mswinsock.ocx listener. On first start it notifies me: "Windows Firewall has
blocked some features of this program".
I don't when I changed my VFP 9 executable firewall status on the old Vista
box. I'm not sure I've needed to on my Windows 7 Dev box I use today.
There is a way to add an exception to the standard Windows Firewall during
setup via Inno Setup using NETSH.EXE
You can also do it with a couple COM object calls when in an administrative
privileged exe.
*-- Disable the "Open Windows Firewall" when access is not available
TRY
LOCAL loFWM as NetFwTypeLib.INetFwMgr , ;
loProfile as NetFwTypeLib.INetFwProfile , ;
loPort as NetFwTypeLib.INetFwOpenPort
loFWM = CreateObject("HNetCfg.FwMgr")
loProfile = loFWM.LocalPolicy.CurrentProfile
loPort = CreateObject("HNetCfg.FWOpenPort")
CATCH TO oEx
THISFORM.FirewallAccess = .F.
