I have seen patches in that bug report to add the firewall stubs. Is there any problem with those patches?<br><br>Or, more to the point, is there any way I could contribute? I am not too familiar with the firewall API or Marteen's work, but I am sure that can be mitigated with some study :)<br>

</div>It is failing because the installer is running a custom action that is<br>
trying to update the Windows firewall configuration (see<br>
<a href="http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15533" target="_blank">http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15533</a>). So this isn't an error<br>
specific to MSI -- MSI is doing the right thing here.<br>

MSI error 1603 is a generic "something went wrong" error.<br>
<br>
WiX is an open source MSI installer creator by Microsoft, available on<br>
sourceforge. Using the power of Google, I suspect that this functionality is<br>
mentioned in<br>
<a href="http://www.joyofsetup.com/2008/05/17/new-wix-feature-firewall-extension/" target="_blank">http://www.joyofsetup.com/2008/05/17/new-wix-feature-firewall-extension/</a>.<br>
<br>
It looks like iTunes is trying to query the Windows Firewall services and is<br>
failing because Wine does not implement this interface yet (bug 15563, bug<br>
12876 and others).<br>
<br>
Do you know if the logs mention trying to CoCreate<br>
{304ce942-6e39-40d8-943a-b913c40c9cd4} (CSLID_NetFwMgr)? If it does, then this<br>
seems the most likely scenario.<br>

Yes it tries. I see this lines in terminal:<br>
<br>
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {304ce942-6e39-40d8-943a-b913c40c9cd4} not<br>
registered<br>
err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {304ce942-6e39-40d8-943a-b913c40c9cd4}<br>
could be created for context 0x1<br>
<br>

<br>
NOTE: It appears that other applications are failing for similar<br>
reasons (lack of firewall API implementation in Wine). AFAIU, the API<br>
implementation does not actually need to do anything, it just needs to<br>
be sufficiently stubbed to allow the applications that are using it to<br>
succeed.<br>
