A possible solution would be to update installers and runners to use 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wow6432Node registry entries for 32-bit 'for current 
user only' installations on a 64-bit Windows OS.

To preserve backward compatibility, runners could fall back to reading the 
64-bit HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software registry entries if their 32-bit counterparts 
can not be found directly.

This way:
  - installations on 32-bit Windows are unaffected
  - new installations work with new runners correctly
  - old installations work with new runners as before
  - old installations work with old runners as before
  - new 64-bit installations work with old runners as before
  - new 32-bit installations do not work with old runners
