Problems with wingate under Windows XP Servive Pack 2

[evandrosudre]

Hi there,

I bough my "Wingate 5" couple of years a go, and I was running the system (with total satisfaction) under Windows XP Professional - SP1, but now, I'm updating to Service Pack 2 and Wingate 5 simply refuse to continue the installation...

Can I change some Windows configuration?
Or do i have to get the newest version of Wingate to get it running?

At a guess, The Windows firewall might not be letting it through.

Right Click "My Computer"
Select "Manage"
Expand "Services and Applications"
Select "Services"
Scroll down to "Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)"
Double click it, disable it, then click the "Stop" button...

try again (I dont think you will need to do a restart)..

Or maybe tell the forum where in the installation process it hangs

I've tried to do something like that here... But the guys from Wingate's support has given de advice to upgrade my Wingate 5 to 6.0.4, the problem is to buy a license from São Paulo, Brazil, were I live. : (

Well..let me try to do this operation...
My best regards,

Evandro

I don't think you need to buy a new license to go to 6.0.4. My understanding is that each version WinGate releases, is the bug fixes for all previous versions. ... If Version 6 has new features in it, then those features would be disables becuase you only have a version 5 license.... So basically you can run the latest WinGate, with the same features you purchased originally.
