Adding outbound firewall rule in Innosetupscript

Question

Does any one know how to add outbound firewall rule or how to specify direction in innosetup script. i am able to add inbound rule with out specifying direction but not outbound rule,

it should be something like,

FirewallObject := CreateOleObject('HNetCfg.FwAuthorizedApplication');
FirewallObject.ProcessImageFileName := FileName;
FirewallObject.Name := AppName;
FirewallObject.Scope := NET_FW_SCOPE_ALL;
FirewallObject.IpVersion := NET_FW_IP_VERSION_ANY;
FirewallObject.Enabled := True;
//I am not sure how to give direction here for outbound
//FirewallObject.Direction = NET_FW_RULE_DIR_OUT;
FirewallManager := CreateOleObject('HNetCfg.FwMgr');
FirewallProfile := FirewallManager.LocalPolicy.CurrentProfile;
FirewallProfile.AuthorizedApplications.Add(FirewallObject);
