It means that the user has a 32-bit version of java installed on his/her system. This can be verified by opening a command prompt, locate the bin directory of the java installed, and type:

 Java -version

If the user has 64 bit Java8 then it will be displayed as:

java version "1.8.0_40"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_40-b26)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.40-b25, mixed mode)


If you want to download the windows version labeled as windows x64, here is the link.
