Calling all SP2 users, and Starcraft players.

Someone with service pack 2 try to install starcraft. FOr some reason, the setup file wont load for me, and I think It might be my firewall.

[deeder7001]

how could a firewall interfere with an installation?

[squakMix]

Allowing launching of other programs. Starcraft launches intall.exe, but I'm never being allerted. Also, I tried installing, allowing acess to the setup program, and when I turned off my computer I got a messege saying "Setup.exe is launching another program. do you wish to allow acess?" I accepted, but my computer just continued to shut down.

make sure the windows install service is running. i forget the exact name of that service.

and kill the firewall

And kill SP2s security centre altogether. You may want to remove the TCP connections cap that comes default with SP2.

How would I go about doing that?

a)hold shotgun firmly against your shoulder, spreading your legs shoulder-length apart for balance.
b)release safety.
c)squeeze trigger. Not aiming, but pointing at your target.
d)repeat (c) until computer is dead.
e)return safety
f)continue to drink cheap gin.
