addFirewallException

In my NSIS install I have the following code; I can't remember why this is required. Do I have to do this?

srputil::addFirewallException /NOUNLOAD "$INSTDIR\oinsight.exe" "$INSTDIR\oinsight.exe"
srputil::addFirewallException "$INSTDIR\oengine.exe" "$INSTDIR\oengine.exe"

  • In older versions of Windows, the first time you ran a new application, you'd get a popup asking if the application is allowed to talk through the internet. I added these to NSIS to avoid that popup. Now that I think about, I don't see those popups anymore, so they probably are unnecessary. They certainly aren't required for any specific functionality.
  • OK I'll remove them. A customer asked why we did it.

    Thanks Kevin.
