Isn't it This installation package is not supported by this processor type?
I am pretty sure that's the error message you get. If so, download the proper build: x64 for 64 bit Windows or x86 for 32 bit Windows. If you install edition higher than Express, you have a single package, you will have to select x64 or x86 in the installer.

on double clicking the .exe file the first dialof box comes with the msg "The installation package is not supported by this package type"... so in cant choose x64/x86

What is the exact file name of your installation package? Is your windows x64 or x86?
