Minim watch won’t install win 64bit

[simoncn]

The present arrangement prompts for the firewall permission (for Java) when I first start MinimServer, not when I install Java. I had assumed this was a default action of Windows Defender rather than something controlled by the Java installer. This is on Windows 7.

Your point about the elevated install preventing the executable from being changed seems reasonable but would not provide protection if an unprivileged user does the install, as the current installer does a non-elevated install in this case. I haven't investigated how this non-elevated install of MinimServer interacts with the firewall. It might happen to work because Java was installed using an elevated install and therefore has firewall privileges.
