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.
.
