Java: Cannot Execute Binary File?

Java: Cannot Execute Binary File?

I'm trying to install Java on my Linux machine, but I'm getting the following error upon executing the installer:

./install.sfx.5077: cannot execute binary file

I've tried to copy the Java folder from another machine, and I get the same error after executing the "java" binary.

What do you think could be causing this?

To answer my own question, it appears that I downloaded 64bit version by mistake :/
