HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\VSTemplate\Item

This is what is determining whether VS is installed or not.  We are looking for a key named above and a value of: UserFolder.

I am confident that you don't so I am willing to bet that the key is under the WOW3264 key.  We actually took the initiative to support 64 platforms that are running WOW (Windows on Windows).  We did not used to take this into effect, which apparently your installed version of Visual Studo doesn't either.  Let me know if I am correct and we may need to modify our 64-bit support to read the registry values properly from the Visual Studio keys.

I can't install v1.6 under x64 since I'm getting that Visual Studio is a missing prerequisite. Remember that under x64 Visual Studio is installed on the Program Files (x86) Folder.

Thanks
