Windows installer silently fails if it can't add a firewall rule

XMLWordPrintable

      When running the setup.exe installer on Windows that has the Windows Firewall disabled, the installer makes some progress but then rolls itself back and then presents the user with a dialog that says: "The Setup Wizard ended prematurely" without any indication as to the cause.

      In my case, the Windows Firewall is disabled because the firewall functionality is taken over by third-party software (which is a component of the local AntiVirus software.)

      If it weren't for someone else that had the same problem here:

      I wouldn't have had any idea where to start troubleshooting this problem.

      Don't see an appropriate component for this bug (e.g. Windows Installer, MSI, WIX), using "all-changes" as a wild guess.
