Sorry, not quite awake yet. Let me try that again... I've touched up what I
was trying to say below:
How would you get the "netsh firewall" command to rollback? 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.
Reference counting is similarly difficult. Trivializing the effort to get a
CustomAction correct reduces that chances that we keep end users machines
stable when they install our software.

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
