Thanks Zero! Much better than the one on the Official page.

No. Use MPICH instead. DEINO is unsupported and is also incompatible with 64-bit versions of Windows.

When I right click on install bat and try run as administrator nothing happens. A screen flashes by and disappears. When I try to click on it again this is what I get.

Reinstall and try again?

From my knowledge, port is usually associated with networking, so maybe Windows Firewall or some other firewall is blocking folding@home?

[Zero82z]

If you are using Windows Firewall, you should see a popup asking you if you want to make an exception for F@H. If you don't see it or accidentally clicked no, try turning off Windows Firewall altogether and see if the install process works. If you are behind a router, Windows Firewall is pretty much useless anyway.
