How does the script add an exception to the firewall? Couldn't you check for an exception the same way?

Which firewall product do you use?

i am talking about windows firewall how to know if firewall exception is already in list or not before adding

Func _FirewallException($_intEnableDisable, $_appName, $_applicationFullPath)
    Local $Firewall = ObjCreate("HNetCfg.FwMgr")
    Local $Policy = $Firewall.LocalPolicy
    Local $Profile = $Policy.GetProfileByType(1)
    Local $colApplications = $Profile.AuthorizedApplications
    Local $newApplication = ObjCreate("HNetCfg.FwAuthorizedApplication")
    $newApplication.Name = $_appName
    $newApplication.IpVersion = 2
    $newApplication.ProcessImageFileName = $_applicationFullPath
    $newApplication.RemoteAddresses = "*"
    $newApplication.Scope = 0
    $newApplication.Enabled = $_intEnableDisable
    $colApplications.Add($newApplication)
EndFunc   ;==>_FirewallException

Usually a method throws a COM error if you add an exception that already exists or try to access one that doesn't.

Couldn't you try to access the item and if it doesn't exist you get a return code?

There is even a >Firewall UDF available.
