Check architecture (x86, x64 or ia64)
How can you check what CPU architecture you are running on. Need it to select the correct vc9 re distributable.

!include WinVer.nsh
${If} ${AtLeastWinXP}
    System::Alloc 36
    pop $0
    ${If} $0 <> 0
        System::Call 'kernel32::GetNativeSystemInfo(i $0)'
        System::Call "*$0(&i2.r1)"
        MessageBox mb_ok wProcessorArchitecture=$1
        System::Free $0
    ${EndIf}
${EndIf}

$1 in that code will be one of:
0: x86
6: ia64
9: x64
0xffff: unknown
