Thread Windows Security and DBISAM Server App
Wed, Dec 5 2007 6:04 PMPermanent Link

Hedley Muscroft
I have created my own small Delphi DBISAM Server application (with your Engine component)
called "DBISAMQuickServer" which allows my .NET application to connect to a DBISAM
database (using ContextSoft's ADO.NET drivers).

This all works fine on my test PCs here, but I am just rolling out my application to BETA
testers and a lot of them are reporting a Windows Firewall Security message on the
"DBISAMQuickServer.exe" because it "may be trying to access the internet". They obviously
have to click on UNBLOCK to allow the application to work.

The whole idea is that I don't really want the users to know "DBISAMQuickServer" is even
running. Is there an elegant way I can achieve this or at least stop Windows Firewall from
asking questions?

Thanks,

Hedley

Please ignore this post - I found the answer in some older posts re
disabling Windows Firewall with InnoSetup - many thanks!
