How to make outpost firewall (free) work in W7 !

hi !

how to do it:
run the *INSTALLATION* in compatibility-mode for Vista SP1.

i´m running it now, looks OK so far, no errormessages yet...

i´ve tested it with Gibsons "Security test", and "Leaktest", and it passed.

hi !

i have been running tests for the last couple of hours, i have tested it with Comodos "Leaktests", and after making some small adjustments it´s now almost "waterproof".

http://download.comodo.com/securitytests/All_tests.zip

now i have 2 leak-problems left to fix.

i also tested Comodos own (free) firewall with their "Leaktest-package", and it had more leaks, (4 or 5) cant´t remember now,
i´m tired...

it got 300 (290 ?) out of 340 points.

Outpost got 320 points, so it seems to be doing a good job.

Hmmm - I have a license for Outpost Paid version as an admin from another forum - I might try it out on Win 7 in a Virtual Machine....

Thanks for the info.

Does Outpost Firewall Free really work? I downloaded, and it wouldn't even so much as launch the installer.

hi !

YES !

it works, read my posting:
"how to do it:

have you done that ?

are you using Windows 7 RC ?

i don´t know if it works with Windows 7 beta.

Just tried your instructions on RC 7127 but using the Pro version didn't work for me.
