How do I find details about an installed ODP.NET using the registry?

Question

I want to find out the following things by searching the registry. I will be checking these things in an InstallShield project by querying the registry.

Is ODP.NET installed on the machine?
If yes, what is the version of installed ODP.NET?
Is 32-bit or 64-bit ODP.NET installed?

I checked the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\ODP.NET to check the existence of ODP.NET, but I could not get how to find its version and whether it's 32-bit or 64-bit.

A man wishes he could help. – not_again_stackoverflow Feb 17 '17 at 07:47 — not_again_stackoverflow, Feb 17 '17 at 07:47

If it is an ODBC driver then look at the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC key.
