snap-in failed to load with error code 0x6D9 at windows 7 firewall

<< < (8/8)

Shane:
Glad to hear it is fixed :-)

Couple of questions though.

1. Did you test the firewall after the new error? Or did it still not work and you got the new error?
2. Which repair on that page did the trick for you so I can add it to the program :-)

 i dont have yet a new error,i'm sure i'll get (thats how the windows works)  :artist:

I repair the registry manually follow the instructions below


--- Quote ---There are two places to look in the registry:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services this path should contain gpsvckey (a folder), which is responsible for service parameters and configuration.  I found that the key was intact, so, you do not touch anything here - just check that the key exists.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SVCHOST This is the most important path you should look into, as it must contain the keys and values referred in the key #1.  Below are descriptions what must be present there.

    There must be Multi-String value called GPSvcGroup. My laptop was missing it.  So, you should create multi-string value named GPSvcGroup and assign it value GPSvc.
    Next, you must create a key (a folder) and name it GPSvcGroup - this key normally should be there, but, again, it was missin on my laptop.
    Then open newly-created GPSvcGroup folder and create 2 DWORD values:

    First called AuthenticationCapabilities and you must give it a value of 0x00003020 (or 12320 in decimal)
    Second is called CoInitializeSecurityParam and it must have value of 1.

Ok I did some testing. And removing that key does break the firewall. So I checked and xp, 2003 and Windows 8 dont use those keys. Seems only vista and 7 do. So I will add these keys to the next update for vista and 7 to the repair firewall :-)
