Start, Run service

Hi in a script i made, i made it so the game installs and everything. But it asks that i should turn off firewall (only one i have is windows firewall) while installing. Anyone know how to turn it off then turn it back on?

Why would you need to turn of the firewall when installing a game?

More Details ?

[chaddiablo]

The game requires access to the internet to check if the cd key is a valid. I tried it with the firewall on and it said it cant access the internet.

Then you need to make an exception for the executable, not disable the whole firewall.

Oh thanks, ill try doing that.

Okay i tried to add the exception with this

Run('cmd')
WinWait("E:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe", "")
If Not WinActive("E:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe", "") Then WinActivate("E:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe", "")
WinWaitActive("E:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe", "")
Send("netsh{SPACE}firewall{SPACE}set{SPACE}allowedprogram{SPACE}={SPACE}E:\Games\PIle2\PIle2.exe{SPACE}PIle2{SPACE}mode{SPACE}={SPACE}enabled{ENTER}")
Send("Exit")

But it didnt add the exception, is there something wrong here? And if possible is there a way to not use cmd?

Okay i found how to do it.

I have to add it first before i "set" it.

Send("netsh{SPACE}firewall{SPACE}add{SPACE}allowedprogram{SPACE}program{SPACE}={SPACE}E:\Games\PIle2\PIle2.exe{SPACE}PIle2{SPACE}enable{ENTER}")

this adds it into the firewall exceptions

also found out how to turn off firewall and turn back on

Send("netsh{SPACE}firewall{SPACE}set{SPACE}opmode{SPACE}Disable{ENTER}

and for turn back on

Send("netsh{SPACE}firewall{SPACE}set{SPACE}opmode{SPACE}Enable{ENTER}

chaddiablo why are you using Run() function when you can do this:

Send("#r")
Send("cmd.exe{Enter}")
;... etc

I had this dog. Very old.

Don't want to go into the details now but he is gone.

[chaddiablo]

Well that does shorten like all my work i did lol

[trancexx]

Why use Send() when you can do this?

The everlasting question.

Surprisingly.
