Indeed. Microsoft Installer has an architecture string for the MSI file; "Intel64" there means Itanium (and AMD64 can be denoted by either "AMD64" or "x64"). This was from a time when Intel still told people that the future of 64-bit computing is in Itanium (and architecturally, I still think this would have been the right choice).
