Look in the file

  GCC_XML/VcInstall/vcInstall.cxx

for the code:

  const char* vc9sp1Registry[] =
  {
    // English SP1
    "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\VisualStudio\\9.0\\InstalledProducts\\KB948484;",
    0
  };

Add additional entries to this array specifying the other values.
If that works, please send a patch and I'll commit it.

Actually these are the same.  Windows uses different 32-bit and
64-bit process "views" of the registry.  The Wow6432Node is
substituted for its parent when viewed by 32-bit processes
while the main SOFTWARE entry tree is seen by 64-bit processes.
Since the VS tools themselves are 32-bit programs their registry
entries appear in the compatibility node.
