Windows Vista/XP Firewall

Greetings.

Is there any way to open ports on Windows Firewall for my application with installer?

Best regards,
FlashT

This is just a shot in the dark. Firewall stores it's exception entries under HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\parameters\FirewallPolicy\DomainProfile\AuthorizedApplications\List and HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile\AuthorizedApplications\List. It's got a specific format to the entries. Maybe adding an entry to your app here will work. Let me know if you get this to work.

Don't really think it could help but found something about it in MSDN - some DirectX9 SDK module ... i'll try it later.

Simply use the 'netsh' command.

Thats right netsh command will help for adding exception list to windows firewall. Do you know how to automatically configure other firewalls like Symantec/Norton etc?
