Detect VC++ Redistributable ATL SP1 (Before Setup begins)

My project depends upon "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update", I want to put a check at the beginning of the setup to display a condition error if the package is not installed..

I checked this question: How to detect VC++ 2008 redistributable?? I cannot find the registry entry provided for visual C++ 2005 SP1 ATL Security Update runtime files (After installing the redistributable manually)..

What am I doing wrong here? And is there a better to detect the redistributable package?

Thanks,

  • For anyone else looking for the same answer:

    Installed OR (HASVCPP200564)

    There are different registry guids for 32/64 bit, the above is 64 bit.
