[wix-users] Is there support for firewall inbound and outbound rules ?

[Gary M]

Thanks for the links.. I'm going to modify the wix extension. Its c++ so
there is little learning curve.
https://github.com/wixtoolset/wix3/tree/develop/src/ext/FirewallExtension

I need to figure out the precedence of the firewall config xml file and the
group policy.

I hope to get it done over the weekend
