The documentation for the FirewallException element states that the Firewall
Exception Element "Registers an exception for a program or a specific port and
protocol in the Windows Firewall on Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003 SP1,
and later".
Should I infer from this description that the Wix element is properly supported
on Windows Server 2008 R2?
The reason that I ask is that when I use the following XML it results in one
firewall exception on Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, whereas it
results in two exceptions (one for UDP and the other for TCP) on Windows Server
2008 R2. I really do not need the UDP exception, only the TCP one, and had
therefore hoped that specifying the Protocol attribute might have allowed me to
restrict the exception, but that appears to have no effect when used with the
Program attribute:
<File Id="Concentrator_EXE" Name="PCMConcentrator.exe" DiskId="1"
Source="$(var.CONCENTRATOR_BIN_DIR)\PCMConcentrator.exe" Vital="yes"
KeyPath="yes">
<fire:FirewallException Id="Concentrator"
Name="$(var.FW_Concentrator_Exception)" Scope="any" IgnoreFailure="yes"/>
</File>
Also, given that Windows Server 2008 R2 firewall supports three profile types,
i.e. Domain, Private and Public I would like to be able to select all three
items, but the FirewallException Wix element only appears to set the Public
profile irrespective of the value that I choose for the Scope attribute.
Any direction greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
will
