MSI to add registry key for x86 and x64

I'm creating a MSI and need to write to the registry (I use a URI Schema for hyperlinks to open the program).

The problem I have is writing the registry key for x86 and x64.

On 64 bit PCs the application will be installed to c:\Program Files (x86)\

enter image description here

On 32 bit PCs to c:\Program Files.

enter image description here

Ideally I was hoping to use a Environment Variable that would work on both PCs. eg:

"%programfiles%\MyFolder\MyApp.exe" %1

Does anyone know the method to write the registry key in the MSI so the file path works for both Operating Systems?

I've already done this before:

I forgot to use [TARGETDIR].
