One user of my batchfiles

was a 64 bit system. I've always seen the key at
hklm\software\R-core\R which is what the batchfiles assume.

So you have not been on 64-bit Windows before - and you still you those batchfiles? Anyway, it does redirect the entries for (almost?) all 32-bit Software. You might want to read MS Documentation if you feel this is an important issue.

Has there been some change in where the installer puts the key
or are there situations in which the location of the key in the
registry is somehow changed?

(Note that the batchfiles do have two workarounds in case the
user cannot or wishes not to access the registry but it would
be better not to have to rely on those.)
