Note: This discussion should really be on the wix-users mailing list since it is about using the WiX toolset, not developing it. Thanks.

I believe the line I showed you only configures inbound rules. I do not think you need to add explicit outbound rules to a default Windows Firewall. The end-user would have to create a custom outbound rule that explicitly blocks all outgoing traffic (this is true for 2008->2012R2) in order for your program's outbound traffic to be blocked. If this is the case they are smart enough to add their own outbound rules and willing to go through the work too ;) You also haven't mentioned any port or application that would execute against this port. You need to read the following: http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/firewall/firewallexception.html I think it only deals with inbound rules. Again, I think that is all you need to concern yourself with regarding Windows Firewall.

Thanks, scubasteve2 We originally wanted to use incoming/outgoing on tcp 127.0.0.1, but it was decided to change the rule to use all addresses for incoming and outgoing traffic. So do you know what the line would look like to support this?
