Firewall exception list for Vista and UAC

This is not directly msi packaging related question but I have a custom action that adds an firewall exception for my application on XP (SP2 or greater).

I simply populate the registry entries below:

*HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall
\DomainProfile \AuthorizedApplications\List
*HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall
\StandardProfile \AuthorizedApplications\List

What is the equivalent way for this on Vista? These registry entries dont seem to exist on Vista.

Also, like we do for firewall, can we add exceptions for UAC as well?

Thanks to all inputs in advance.

MSDN shows some examples on how to work with Firewall; http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364726(VS.85).aspx. I hope this would work for both Vista and XP. Sure this will probably take some extra effort to apply some MSI terms.
