Sorry not to mention this. It was menat just as an example. The script is
generic and can basically be used for any installer to achieve launching
different installers on different OS.

Feel free to use any recent WPKG client (I always recommend to use the latest
version available).

No, no need to create two packages.
Just use a logical OR check if you need to check for file existence.

e.g.

<check type='logical' condition='or'>
<check type='file' condition='exists'
path='%ProgramFiles(x86)%\soft\uninstall.exe' />
<check type='file' condition='exists' path='%ProgramFiles%\soft\uninstall.exe' />
</check>

This will yield true on both systems.
