A very good hint, David.
Stil, I don't install the firewall explicitly because all of
the boxes are behind a firewall anyway. This "Access denied"
error comes up even if all of the components of McAfee are
disabled. Only a deinstall helps.
But perhaps I should go with the flow and let the firewall
install with the rest and then configure it as you suggested.
I'll keep you posted.
