JDK 8.6 64 bit installation error on WIndows 2003 34 bit OS. Machine is i5 64 bit.
I am trying to install latest JDK 8.6 on WIndows 2003 34 bit OS.
The Windows 2003 is a guest machine configured on VMWare 12.
The host machine is Windows 8.1.
Since the host machine - Windows 8.1 is 64 bit, i should be able to install JDK 8.6 - 64 bit on it even though the Guest OS- Windows 2003 is 32 bit.
Then why am i not able to install JDK 8.6 on WIndows 2003

I think that you need JDK for Windows x86.

You've got the i586 version (32bit) downloaded, in file manager, double click it.....does it work?
Yes it does.
32 bit JDK8.6 works fine.

WIll a 64-bit-JDK 8 be faster than 32-bit-JDK 8?
Depends how much memory is required.

Why does 32 bit JDK 8 work on Windows 2003 when JDK 8 is not supported on Windows 2003

I was wondering my laptop has 4GB RAM and thus it supports only 32 bit. As 32 bit can access only max. of 4 GB RAM. Is that the case by any chance?
Your system is 64 bit, your 2nd screenshot shows "x64 based processor" - check your manual or manufacturer website. You'll probably be able to expand memory to 8Gb - check to be sure.

Yes, it's expandable upto 8 GB RAM
>>I was wondering my laptop has 4GB RAM and thus it supports only 32 bit.
I fail to see how the amount of RAM installed tells you what bit version your OS is.
Your laptop has 4Gig of RAM It can still have the 64Bit OS installed.
Just because it is expandable to 8 doesn't mean you have a 64bit OS installed.
The two really aren't related.
