Kerio Personal Firewall 4.1.3 Free

[Rudolph]

Using kerio-pf-4.1.3-en-win.exe

1. Run the file. Don't install, just go to the the first screen.

2. Copy the files created in"C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp\_isxx" to a spare folder.

3. Cancel the install.

4. Rename "Kerio Personal Firewall.msi" to something without spaces, i.e. "KerioPersonalFirewall.msi"

5. To install the firewall use this batch file

start /wait ISScript10.msi /passive
start /wait KerioPersonalFirewall.msi /passive

it will not restart automatically

If you have a saved configuration file (kpf.cfg) you can copy it into "c:\Program Files\Kerio\Personal Firewall 4\Config" and rename it to "update.cfg" before you restart.

NB. The above is based on observed behaviour/trial & error (I don't really know what I'm doing ) but it seems to work.

Edit:

OK, hit one snag. While the above works - the program gets installed and updated - the Kerio menu only appears on the 'administrator' account (which is fixable), but also it does not appear on 'Add/Remove Programs'.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this ?

Try using this instead

REG ADD %KEY%\007 /VE /D "Kerio Personal Firewall 4.1.3" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\007 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\Applications\AntiStuffWare\keriopf413.exe /S /V\"/qn REBOOT=Suppress\"" /f

It installs it ok for me and places it in the Add/Remove Programs. Obivously you will need to change the path where you file is installed.

I am not sure how to update the setting for previous saved ones yet as I have not tried.
