How it works

This tool registers itself as a Windows Service. When it starts, it lists all folders under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages and executes CheckNetIsolation.exe LoopbackExempt -a -n=[folder-name] for each of them. Meanwhile, it setups a watcher for the Packages directory and receives changes of the newly added packages, so that it can apply the exemption to them as well.
