Assuming you are using normal 32-bit NSIS you can just enumerate the subkeys if you don't know which exact version you are looking for:

Section
StrCpy $0 0
loop:
  EnumRegKey $1 HKLM "SOFTWARE\APE\PowerChart" $0
  StrCmp $1 "" done
  IntOp $0 $0 + 1
  MessageBox mb_ok "Key: $1"
  Goto loop
done:
SectionEnd
