After running "start.exe", I select the AMD 64 installation package.

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?

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".
