Hello

How can I use the installer to add my application to the Windows Firewall exceptions?
I found the following, but how to do it with the installer?

Code: Select all

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="My Application" dir=in action=allow program="C:\MyApp\MyApp.exe" enable=yes

Do you have to put the variables in quotation marks?

Code: Select all

netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=<AppName> dir=in action=allow program=<MainExecutable> enable=yes
