Probably the easies thing to do is to use an immediate Custom Action that gets called before LaunchConditions to set a property indicating if the version is retrieved from the registry is high enough.
You can use good old C/C++ or WIX DTF Custom Actions written in .NET. Typically I use C++ for the small stuff because they will launch and run faster. I save DTF for the big stuff like database intensive work.
