[wix-users] Enabling a firewall profile

As far as I know, functionality to specifically support the Windows Advanced Firewall features added to Vista or later have not been added to the WixFirewallExtension.

Subject: [wix-users] Enabling a firewall profile

I currently have my own custom action for enabling a firewall profile, which basically just executes the following commandline


    netsh advfirewall Firewall set rule group="Secure World Wide Web Services (HTTPS)" new enable=yes


I notice that there is now a WiX Firewall extension, but I can't see a way to do the same thing.


Is there a way using the fire wall extension to enable an existing profile (group)?


Cheers,


Stephen.
