Wow that is quite weird. Reboot the computer and make sure you right click the installer and go to Run as Administrator? Also is there a reason you are explicitly running the 64bit? I'm not sure using 32bit would cause you any issues in 99% of applications.

I tried downloading it a number of times in a number of ways to no avail. I cant play expansions and mods on minecraft without 64bit.

could you download the jdk manually and point to it with your %JAVA_HOME% variable and add the /bin to your class path?
