How to detect which visual c++ 2008 redistributable is installed

Hi,

I have a installer that requires to download visual c++ 2008 redistributable package. For this I check "Install" key for value as "1" under HKLM "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DevDiv\VC\Servicing\9.0\RED\1033. If I install visual c++ 2008 redistributable package X86 same key is created and when I install visual c++ 2008 redistributable package X64 the key is same. Is there a way to differentiate between the two. How to find whether the visual c++ 2008 redistributable package installed on machine is for X86 or X64.

Thanks
