I have a batch file that installs WinVNC in about 1 second and starts up the service. However, I still have to manually go into the Windows Firewall and open a port to allow connections. How can I do that programmatically?
If I could do it from inside the batch file, that would be ideal, but I’m ok writing an EXE if that’s necessary.
Let me google that for you:

This page includes a multitude of ways to customize the firewall, among those the use of
netsh.exethat seem to give command line access to windows firewall.
