This installation package could not be opened...

I cannot install the latest Java (JRE 6 Update 18). I CAN install older versions of Java (J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 15), however I did this only because the latest one would not install, but now I really need the new one.

It should be noted that I never had this problem before. Last month I had to format my hard-drive and re-installed windows, and over the past few weeks I had been installing the programs I had lost in the format. Well, when the time came to get Java, the following happens...



First, I download jxpiinstall.exe, run it, and the I get this:

then

then finally

So basically I can't get Java using the downloader. That's ok, I'll try to download the actual package installer. So I do that...


This is what happens when I try to run jre-6u18-windows-i586.exe

Now, I have searched online, and couldn't find any solution to this problem. So can anyone here help me? Thanks.
