Find if Visual Studio 2010 SP1 (VC10) x64 is installed from registry or filesystem

I am creating a batch file and I need to know if Visual Studio 2010 SP1 (VC10) x64 is installed before starting some applications that requires it. What places from the registry or the filesystem could confirm me that it is installed?

Check HOWTO: Detect installed Visual Studio editions, packages or service packs

You may find this helpful for you.

The detection keys for Visual Studio are used both to detect if the product is installed and what service pack level is installed. As with previous versions, these keys and values are under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DevDiv\VS\Servicing.

Key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DevDiv\VS\Servicing\10.0\$(var.ProductEdition)\$(var.LCID)

Name Install

Type REG_DWORD (32-bit integer)

Data 0x00000001 (1)

You can iterate over every single key under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

And look in the DisplayName (REG_SZ) registry.

This is where the Program and Features application gets the information to populate the list of all software currently installed on Windows.
