GetLatestWinSDK assumes registry key will point to 32bit node for win10 sdk

See original GitHub issue

Firstly I’m not entirely sure if this is a Visual Studio installer issue or DNNE but after running the visual studio installer to add the win10 sdk to the system the KitsRoot10 registry key is pointing to C:\Program Files\Windows Kits\10\ where the sdk’s files appear to actually be in the 32bit node’s location of Program Files (x86). As far as I can tell it seems like the win10 sdk always winds up in Program Files (x86) so I was curious if it made sense to instead have GetLatestWinSDK check the WOW6432Node for the sdk location to ensure it always pointed to the correct location?
