3892	FWKERN.EXE error during installation of version 2.2.2 => Fixed in SVN	kirpi		Hello,\r\n\r\nI have tried to install VirtualBox 2.2.2 on both Windows Vista Home Premium and Ultimate editions. The installer gets stuck with giving this error:\r\n\r\n{{{\r\nThe application "FW-1 Network Configuration (fwkern.exe)" needs to be closed for the installation to continue. \r\nRetry/Cancel\r\n}}}\r\n\r\n- I only have Checkpoint SmartConsole and Securemote installed. But neither are running, nor the services are started (all services are at manual).\r\n- The installation file is: VirtualBox-2.2.2-46594-Win.exe\r\n- Before starting the installation, there is no fwkern.exe process. (Of course I am looking at all users' processes)\r\n- I use UAC but when asked, I allow the installation the proceed.\r\n- I leave all default components checked (i.e. I try to install both USB and Networking components).\r\n- The previous version is uninstalled already and the respective %ProgramFiles% folder is deleted also.\r\n- I'm asked twice to trust Sun Microsystems based components and I click "install".\r\n- fwkern.exe process isn't present in my system before installation.\r\n- Half way in installation process, a fwkern.exe process appears running as the SYSTEM user and then I get the error mentioned above. \r\n- The proccess can't be killed.\r\n- When I click cancel, installer tries to roll back the changes, raises the same error mentioned above once more, I click cancel again and it gets stuck indefinitely.\r\n- When I kill the installer process manually, fwkern.exe process disappears.\r\n\r\nBest,\r\nKirpi	defect	closed	major	installer	VirtualBox 2.2.2	fixed	fwkern.exe, installation failure		other	Windows
