I am trying to add an application to windows firewall exception. I don’t want to give admin privileges to the EXE.
I tried netsh command as below.
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Myapp" dir=in action=allow program=”C:\Program files\app.exe "
But this requires administrative privilege.
Is there any ways to add to firewall exception without admin previleges?
I think it is possible because I have one Application which does so.
I am using Talley ERP 9 which adds itself to firewall exception without admin privileges. When I run Talley it pops up with a message as shown below.
If I click on either of options (‘Allow access’ or ‘Cancel’) the Tally will be added to firewall exception. This works in both Administrator and Non-Administrator users.
I have tracked the changes made by that exe and found that there are values added in to the registry key,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\FirewallRules
How tally ERP 9 is able to add firewall exception without having admin privileges?
I couldn’t find any manifest file in tally ERP 9 path also.
