Error during the installation of Windows 8 Apps while having Windows Firewall disabled

Hello,

I have a question:

I have Windows Firewall disabled in W8 and when I try to install APPs from the Windows Appstore I obtain an error message saying something like:

"The app couldn´t be installed because Windows Firewall service is not running. Enable Windows Firewall service and try again"

I have the Firewall of Windows disabled because I already have another program for this purpose (monitoring/tracking my internet connections). So, that´s why I want to keep it disabled.

Does anybody know if this problem is going to be fixed and in the next future we will be able to install W8 Apps with the Firewall of Windows disabled?

Thanks in advance for the info.

Regards.
