netsh http add urlacl problem

I'm trying to set up some ports from a WIX installer. For WinXP we use httpcfg in a custom action and this works fine. For Win7, we're trying:

netsh http add urlacl url=http://127.0.0.1/8346/ user="NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users" sddl="D:(A;;GX;;;AU)"

The WIX installer correctly executes this statement and sets up the ports - FOR THE ADMINISTRATOR who runs the .msi. Users with lesser priviliges cannot access these ports. I need to set it up for all users on the machine, but I've tried about everything I can think of with no luc开发者_如何学Gok.

Something I find odd is that the Admin user can see the assigned ports using netstat -a, but they do not appear at all using netsh http show urlacl...is that an indicator of something wrong?

If 8346 is your port number you syntax is incorrect it should be.

netsh http add urlacl url=http://127.0.0.1:8346/ user="NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users"

You can add condition to the setup file to prompt for UAC when installation starts. this will ensure all the installer is started by admin and thus will add exception in firewall even when user does not have admin rights.
