Does anyone know how to add an installed program to various popular
firewalls?

Is this possible from Setupbuilder or should I code this myself.

If myself anyone have any code they want to share to complete this task or
any pointers other than the MS docs for adding a program to the windows
firewall?

Cheers

Thist does not help you at the moment, but it's a built-in SetupBuilder 7
feature <g>

- Firewall Exceptions Visualizer

The Windows Firewall that is included with Windows XP SP2 and later,
controls which applications and ports on the destination computer can accept
incoming traffic from the Internet or a network. The Firewall Exceptions
feature (available as script function and Visualizer) lets you specify
application files and ports to be added to the Windows Firewall exception
list during installation.
