Default disable windows firewall

Hi
When i try to disable windows firewall, a message box asking for
permission pops up. I got the hotfix (814054) fixing it from micsoft,
but i can't run it from the application (cause it has GUI and i can't
do it on customers' PCs), therefore i have to imitate the hotfix in my
own code. Does anyone know what the hotfix do?
Thanks
D

Hi,

You will not be able to do in your program what that hotfix does.

Most likely you can install the hotfix unattended (no GUI) using the
following command line switches:

SomeFileName.exe /u /z /q


/u: Use Unattended mode.
/z: Do not restart when installation is complete.
/q: Use Quiet mode (no user interaction).
