Title: Allow AIR desktop application throw windows firewall
Hello.
i have created a samll AIR application that interact with other applications using p2p (stratus). the application works fine however on windows 7 the firewall blocks all incoming calls (and the applications simply does not recive them with no spceial indication from windows on the block). when i add my application to the allowed progrmas in the firewall settings everthing works fine. the problom is that i want that many users will install my application.
how can i add the application to the allowed firewall programs (on windows 7) automatically during the applications instaltion (i created the instaltion using the "Export Relese Build" in the Flash builder).
Thanks in advance.

technically thinking if its possible to add anything to allowed list of firewall then any virus/ program will do that and firewall will be useless tool. Firewall companies automatically survey the trusted applications and only allow the most trusted programs automatically. Your problem is related to ports, the p2p must be using some port that's closed by firewall by default.
I think the only solution is that if your AIR application is unable to connect then prompt a message to user asking him to allow the application in firewall

Thank for your answer Marx. many progrmas try to add them self to the firewall list and then the user is being asked by the firewall program if its ok. so a virus will not be able to list him self. any way, can i use the stratus ports so that they wont conflict with the firewall?
