Those pesky typos, had my fingers crossed while hammering at the keyboard, it seems.

I do not have a testing system either, but I once got in contact with one of the first Itanium workstations an HP Itanium 1.
In general the only difference between IA64 and AMD64 is the name, those things checked by WPKG are identical.

I would change the variable x64 into the general one 64bit, since it will flag any of the two 64-bit architectures.
There is no difference in handling the registry in this respect.
