When the Windows Firewall Service is stopped, the Firewall Extension still fails. There is no ignore/retry/fail prompt. The entire setup fails.

Until the prompt is fixed, can you use FirewallException/@IgnoreFailure="yes" attribute to silently fail?

Under Windows XP the Ignore/Retry/Cancel dialog does not appear. The IgnoreFailure="yes" works, setup continues.
Under Windows Vista the Ignore/Retry/Cancel dialog does appear. But if the user chooses Ignore, a rollback occurs :(
I believe this was fixed in 3.0.4603.
