Can't find VS2008 installdir registry in Windows 7 x64

I am currently writing a building script that requires visual studio 2008 installdir registry key to find where devenv is. On Windows Vista the registry key was used in the local machine \ software \ Microsoft \ VisualStudio \ 9.0 \ installdir, but on Windows 7 x64 it doesn't seem to be found. I tried but couldn't find it in other directories.

Has anyone else had this problem?

On Windows x64, all 32-bit (VisualStudio is one of them) that write to the path (HKLM | HKCU)\SOFTWARE

for registries are renamed to path (HKLM | HKCU)\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node

, look for it underHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0
