You could have two .reg files one for each situation condition the customaction
using the Msix64 property.
Having said that, would recommend you use the Wix RegistryKey/RegistryValue

My Custom Action looks like:

or
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Compact
Edition\v3.5\ENU

One of two options. My recommendation would be don't use SQL Authentication

fine, but I suspect you wouldn't be asking if that was the situation.
