Hi!

The way the msi installer works right now is to check if

• windows firewall is active
• zabbix agent is active
• where zabbix agent is installed
• and again, if it's active

These checks are executed in an external cmd console. Actual av / edr software detects this and prevents the execution, resulting in this message of the zabbix agent installer:

Maybe there is another way via windows api to check if the service is running.

I know, it is not a zabbix agent problem itself. It's just a feature request for a another way to achieve the same thing - just without the need of starting external cmds.
