Yeah, it wouldn't have liked having identical detection method. Personally I use exact version number that I obtain from the properties of Receiver.exe.

My example is not quite so complicated, but I built an 'Application' with two deployment types to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable, one each for 32-bit and 64-bit. When it's a 32-bit OS I only need the x86 version to install, however on a 64-bit OS I need both the x86 and x64 versions to install. Deployment Types: x64 is Priority 1, with requirement that it is running Windows 64-bit. It also has a dependency for the next deployment type. x86 is Priority 2, with no requirements set. It has no dependencies. Result: When a Windows 64-bit client goes to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable, it checks the first deployment type and meets it's requirement,and so commences install. It is dependent on the x86 install, so it will go ahead and install that first. Now satisfied it has met it's dependencies, it will install x64. When a Windows 32-bit client goes to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable, it checks the first deployment type, however does not meed it's requirement, so passes to the next on the list, which has no requirements, and so commences install. It installs the x86 deployment type and reports success. Clearly you still need to enter in all of the deployment type configuration which is the bulk of most applications, however at least you can publish it as one Application in your catalog.
