Problem:
The RM/COBOL installation fails on Windows with the following error message: "Unknown error 0x1002: CallOpenFirewallPort failed."
Resolution:
One of the requirements for the RM/COBOL installation is that the Windows Firewall either is running or is capable of running.
You can check the current status of the Windows Firewall service by going to the Services control panel utility (Control Panel Services). Then right-click on the "Windows Firewall" service listing and select "Properties".
From the "Properties" dialog, you will need to ensure that the Windows Firewall service is not set to disabled and that it can be "Started". If you cannot "Start" the service then you will have to address that issue before installing the Runtime.
