--- Comment #3 from Rainer Meier <r.meier at wpkg.org>  ---
Just commited a (slightly modified) update:

NEW: Added support for IA64 Itanium architecture. Basically this adds
     the possibility to use os="ia64" in extended host attribute matching.
     So the current list of supported architectures is:

     x86:  32-bit Windows operating system running on x86 instruction set 
     x64:  64-bit Windows operating system running on x86-64 instruction set
     ia64: 64-bit Windows operating system running on IA64 instruction set

     Fixes bug 224. Thanks to Stefan Pendl for requesting.


Actually WPKG internally uses the "is64Bit()" method to detect the folders it
has to check as well as registry paths. For example the WoW64 folders. I am not
sure if these folders are the same for IA64 machines.

So there are a few questions to be clarified. Until then WPKG might behave
wrongly on IA64 systems:

- Is there a native IA64 WSH binary (cscript.exe)?
- Does it provide access to 32-bit reg keys via "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node"?

If there is no HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node then WPKG might try to open the wrong
path to get uninstall information from. Of course it would be ideal if somebody
could provide access to such a system. Or at least verify the conditions listed
above.
