Our RAD tool which uses the Intel compiler needs to know the location of ifort.exe on a users machine. On 32bit arch these can be found in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intel, but where are the keys stored on 64bit arch?

Do you use HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WOW6432Node, and if so under what circumstances?

Or do you suggest another way to locate the compiler on 32bit and 64 bit platforms?

As I understand it, the installer asks Windows to use HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareIntel but Windows makes a copy under WOW6432Node or something like that. The installer doesn't try to be clever about that.

The environment variable IFORT_COMPILER11 is also defined.
