Installer firewall compatibility #38013

Open Chaython opened 3 years ago

Chaython commented 3 years ago

What steps will reproduce the bug?

Run the installer and choose to automatically install additional tools

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Every time

What is the expected behavior?

Pause and prompt for firewall access

What do you see instead?

Fails, and asks for exit

Additional information

When running a firewall [Example Simplewall ] in a whitelist mode [everything blocked by default], running the install additional tools option in the installer, will fail. As both powershell.exe then later choco.exe require firewall access, the installer does not prompt for firewall access etc, the script just pauses for exit. Should prompt for access or use a loopback.
