Selecting the destination based on the OS is not usually something you should do but if you really want to you can use WinVer.nsh:

!include WinVer.nsh

Function .onInit
${If} ${AtLeastWinVista}
  StrCpy $InstDir "c:\VistaAndLater"
${Else}
  StrCpy $InstDir "c:\Win95To2003"
${EndIf} 
FunctionEnd

If you want to change it based on x86 vs AMD64, use x64.nsh
