Couldn't you just do a ShellExecute() on "netsh.exe" with the command line
of something like "firewall add allowedprogram \"c:\\myprogram.exe\" ENABLE"
as the parameter? Then you can have another one ("netsh firewall delete
etc.") that removes it upon uninstall. Wouldn't that work?

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
