Eclipse won't download. Application not found [message #1692146]

I'm trying to download eclipse for learning java. I try to download the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers Windows 64 Bit, and every time it goes through downloading, and when I open it it says C:\...\eclipse-java-luna-SR2-win32-x86_64.zip Application not found.
Can anyone help?

Describe in more detail what you're doing. For example, are you trying to open the ZIP file that you downloaded?

Perhaps you're a candidate for downloading and using the new installer?

Thank you for your replies.

@Russell Bateman: I did read the stickies at the top, none of them corresponded to my problem. Or, am I doing something wrong by asking this question, or should I ask this somewhere else? I'm sorry if I'm doing something wrong.

@Eric Rizzo: Here is exactly what I have done. I downloaded the JDK for 64-Bit already. I am trying to download eclipse from the Windows 64-Bit found at downloads-Eclipse IDE for Java Developers-Windows 64-Bit. It seems to download fine, and takes about 5 minutes to download. It finishes fine, but when I click on it to open it, it shows the message I put in my original post. Am I downloading the wrong thing, not have something I need to download/open it, downloading/opening it wrong or something else?

@Nitin Dahyabhai: I looked at it, but it seems like it isn't finished yet. I'm also a little nervous about installing it that way, and would do it only if it is the only way to do it.

To be honest, this seems like a system problem rather than an Eclipse problem. Eclipse comes in a ZIP file, but it sounds like you can't even open the ZIP file (which Windows has the built-in ability to do). Can you open any other ZIP files on your system?

You are right! I thought I could open one, but when I created a test zip file, and tried to open it , it said the same message. Sorry for having a problem not with eclipse but on my own system though. Thank you, I'll get that figured out.
