Windows 10: Any way to force install of Agnitum Outpost Security Suite Free?

Any way to force install of Agnitum Outpost Security Suite Free?


Windows 10 blocked it from installing. I wanted to use it on windows 10.

I am getting a little *Mad about windows 10. If I want to install something, I should be able to do that.

ServiceLayer - Could not start service

Hi,

I've found the cause of the problem. It was firewall - Agnitum Outpost Personal Firewall Pro. I had old version and after installing new version the message dissapeared. As You can see below - one of issues solved was the problem "Outpost Firewall could block
installation of services".

"Outpost Firewall Pro 2008 (build 6.0.2172.214.422.270)

Release date: November 14, 2007

The following issues are resolved (only significant ones are listed):

* Outpost monitor and Outpost Feedback were not registered in startup entries

* Outpost Firewall could block installation of services

* Information about crashes could not be sent to Agnitum

* Rules autocreation did not work on 64-bit systems for applications from ProgramFiles (x86) and SysWOW64 folders

* Most commonly reported crashes (including crash on content filtering)

* Error 14001 during installation

* Rules were applied incorrectly in some cases

* Address macros could be incorrectly resolved in rules

* Leaktests SPT 15 and SPT 16 were failed on Vista64

* Error while importing LAN settings from Outpost Firewall 4.0

* Web pages content could be blocked/corrupted (GZIP decoding issue)

* Outpost Firewall now cannot be installed over Outpost Security Suite"

But now I have different problem - I can't download update of PC Suite. The download starts and it stops when the progress bar is in its way. Sometimes it goes to the end but the installation doesn't start. What could be the problem?

 

Can't install cumulitave update kb3213986.

afwcore.sys Windows process - What is it?

(BING search for

afwcore

)

What is afwcore? The genuine afwcore.sys file is a software component of Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro by Agnitum

Sounds like you should be uninstalling your firewall and then see if the updates can be installed without an interferer being present.



Good luck

If Microsoft has blocked it, its because there is a serious problem with compatibility, and with an anti-virus tool, that can mean corrupted files.

 

Then even blocked betas of Agnitum 8 & 9 said in might destroy data. I don't mind if the program is not compatible but Agnitum 8 or 9 should be compatible with windows 10 by now. If Microsoft 10 is going to start blocking programs especially beta, developers and advance users won't like that. That could mean firefox unbranded version or Firefox developer version or Firefox nightly version could not work on windows 10. I haven't tested those yet.

 

Lots of programs get blocked right after a new build because of compatibility. MS removes the block when the vendor fixes the compatibility issues.

You have to understand that each new build of the OS changes things, and software like antivirus, which integrates deeply within the OS can break when those changes happen because they depend on undocumented features to work. So to say it "should be compatible with Windows 10 by now" is not the point. It's not compatible with the newest build.

 

They are working on a 10 version but it is not ready yet. No betas at this time.

 

I did see mention on twitter a few days back of somebody renaming the exe for a blocked antivirus and it installed, it was twitter so I don't know how true it was but it maybe worth a try.

 

Thank you John. I will give that a try.

 

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend running antivirus that has not been made to support Windows 10 (and has not been sanctioned either). The antivirus will be expecting to be on a different OS, and may flag and remove anything it does not recognize, even core components needed for the OS to work. Even the big names like Kapersky or Norton have once or twice bricked many of their customer's computers.
