How would you the "netsh firewall" command back?  Also, what if two installs 
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.  
Transactions (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
