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

[Gary M]

Thanks Rob,

I'll clone the dev branch.

Much of the time I work with  air-gap, locked-down environments deploying
to traditional and private cloud compute enclaves. No access to  sonatype,
github or other types of artifact and code repositories. The only way to
install is via physical media. If I need to stand up a chef or puppet
server, it would take about a year to get through the process.
Unfortunately, we work on a much shorter release schedules.  As a result,
enterprise configuration features normally placed in other systems are
forced into the msi installer.

Normally, I would write installer(s) using C++ or C#, this is my first
attempt to use wix for this type of enterprise application deployment. I'm
finding some gaps in the wix feature set supporting enterprise application
deployment and modular installer design, the latter is likely due to
missing recipes and a best practices guideline. I have added a feature
request/bug to the github site. After 4 days, there is no reply comment
which does not give me a "warm feeling" about formal improvement proposals.
For example, I would like to use wix as a motor deploying into Amazon
Lambda.
