In a 64bit OS, "C:\Program Files" is x64bit and "C:\Program Files (x86)" is 32bit and you can visibly see both. It could be that the file is in C:\Program Files (x86) but the app is looking in C:\Program Files for it.

Basically the install didn't install a specific registry key by the looks of it.

I would compare the registry keys of a 32bit OS vs a 64bit OS to see the differences.
Rating comments in this legacy AppDeploy message board thread won't reorder them,so that the conversation will remain readable.
