How to create Windows firewall exception in Visual Basic 2005?

Question

Is there a way I can create Windows firewall exceptions in VB2005? I'm trying to deploy a small app that opens up a few ports so I can connect to them and convert them using VMWare Converter.

Thanks in advance,
Clint.

Answer 1

Very similar to this question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/113755/programmatically-add-an-application-to-windows-firewall

That question is for C#, but since the languages are similar, the techniques should be the same.

Thanks! I searched for it before and I didn't find anything. I knew someone had asked it before.
