Missing ia64 or itanium 64 bit build target on Visual Studio 2010

Question

with so many versions on this subject, couldn't find an answer :

vs 2010 - professional i have all target platforms but i can't find Itanium or IA64 i have tried googling it and couldn't find any info regarding a problem such as i have . what am i missing ? am i wrong that x64 is not IA64 (specifically)? or (as i was finishing this last line) i now wonder if my machine does not run on an itanuim... so why am i surprised... or it has nothing to do with the CPU of the development machine.

IA64 is only for the Intel Itanium enterprise CPUs which are not x86 compatible.

i guess it is only a mater of time till i get my hands on a testing machine this was not to my knowlage. thought no cpu is that supperior to I7/I5 at that level of differences. 64 still supposed to be 64 bit.

Microsoft dropped all support for Itanium 5 years ago. It is a dead product for them. — Hans Passant, Oct 08 '15 at 17:17

You needed Premium or higher edition for ia64/Itanium support. And yes "ia64" is Itanium and nothing else.
