Re: [WiX-users] Set firewall exception

[Rob M. <Rob...@mi...>]

How would you the "netsh firewall" command back?  Also, what if two install=
s both install the same firewall exception?  How would you reference count =
the firewall exception?

Writing CustomActions that modify machine state is rarely an easy task.  Tr=
ansactions (even compensating transactions) are hard things to get right.

It probably wouldn't be hard to do a Custom Action to do such a thing.  You=
 could do a "netsh firewall" command to do it.

Hi;



Is there a WIX command to set an exception in the Windows firewall? If so, =
what is it? And can it be set for a program we are not installing (winword.=
exe)?



Thanks - dave
