Sams Teach Yourself Java 6 in 21 Days - Installation Error

| Hi,
I have just bought the book Sams "Teach Yourself Java 6 in 21 Days",
and am getting an error installing the JDK supplied with the book.
After running "start.exe", I select the AMD 64 installation package.
After the InstallShield package loads up, I get an error, "This
installation package is not supported by this processor type. Contact
your product vendor.".
The installation then aborts and I cannot get any further.
I have an HP PC with AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor, running Windows
Vista.
Has anyone installed the software successfully on a similar platform,
or knows what might be wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help.

May be the JDK from the book is only for 32 bit machines.
I suggest you to retrieve the JDK from the official sun site.
To find the download page search in google "download jdk".

That configuration should be able to execute 32-bit code just fine.
Still, going with Sun's JDK sounds like a good bet.

Probably your Windows is not 64 bit. That's what counts.
Install the 32 bit version, it works on either setup.
