>From your question , it is not possible to understand which 8.3 version is
used .

It is very unlikely that 9.0 fails completely but 8.3 succeeds completely .


ia64 is for Itanium 64 processor ,
amd64 is Intel and AMD 64-bit capable desktop or notebook processors  .

They are different processors , and one can not execute code for the other .

Thank you very much .
