I have a laptop with Windows 7 and need BlueJ for IT classes. My problem is: every time it is installed and I want to run it, I get an error message that says, "This installation package is not supported on this platform. Contact the manufacturer of the product. I have tried several websites but the same message always comes…
What does BlueJ do?
Windows or MacOS? Maybe you didn't choose the installation file for the correct operating system
This is an IDE for java
BlueJ is a beginner Java IDE
Does it have to be BlueJ? Is an IDE for babies.
Tap on 64-bit software where it tries to install it in a 32-bit operating system.
Or, a software for Windows 10, where no compatibility setting is attempted to be installed in Windows 7.
We work with it in IT classes and unfortunately I need it to continue working on projects: /
Thanks a lot! I will try it once
Note: BlueJ now uses Java 11+, which requires a 64-bit operating system, which 95 +% of users will have. For 32-bit operating systems,
https://www.bluej.org/versions.html instead.
Which Windows 7 do you have exactly?
Right click My Computer / Computer Icon> Properties> is above.
Is there a special website to install, so I mean besides Oracle?
Windows 7 Home Premium
Let's just start.
This is the website (Google search)
https://www.bluej.org/
Windows says: Requires 64-bit Windows, Windows 7 or later.
… Requires at least Windows 7 AND 64-bit.

Hence the question, which Windows 7 do you have exactly?
32bit or 64bit?
Stands for system type.
32bit, I think that explains a lot
That is the reason. No chance!
Wrong here…
Ah, yes. There's a chance. How much RAM does your computer have and which CPU?
4GB RAM
What is a CPU? Unfortunately I know nothing about computers
CPU is the processor. RAM is a volatile memory in which the programs and data are loaded and processed at runtime.
On the same picture, where you read the system type and the Windows type, there's also the CPU type / under processor. (CPU = processor)
