Java Runtime downloading errors - HELP

Question

E510.P4 630 (3.0GHz), HT 128MB ATI Hyper MEM PCI-E X16 X300SE. DIM 512MB DDR2 SDRAM 533MHZ - 2x256MB DIM.M 80GB Serial ATA, 7200 rpm DIM.M   I am taking a class in web development and need to install Java Runtime Environment v.5.0 Update 6 prior to downloading my institutions FTP software.  Problem is that I cannot download the Java...'The installation package could not be opened.  Verify that the package exist and that youcan access it, or contact the application vendor that this is a valid Windows package.'  Due to my machine's Windows XP I get the yellow bar which instructs me to 'Install Active X Control' which I do or least click 'Install', but then that's as far as I can get before the error pops up.   What is preventing my machine from downloading?  Who can I contact?

When I click on 'Install' to begin downloading the J2SE Runtime... I momentarily get the 'begin installation' pop-up and then my error comes on with Windows Installer (named in the blue bar of the pop-up) and inside the pop-up is the error message 'The installation package could not be opened...' Do I have a problem with my Windows Installer?
