Resolution

There are two work arounds for this issue:

1) Obtain a zip file and unzip contents rather than running the installer

Example of location for zip file: http://repo.fusesource.com/maven2/org/apache/activemq/apache-activemq/5.3.0.0-fuse/

Example file name: apache-activemq-5.3.0.0-fuse-bin.zip

2) Use the installer with a 32-bit jvm

Set the ACTIVEMQ_HOME and ACTIVEMQ_BASE environment variables and start the wrapper.exe from a command prompt.

Root Cause

Bug #: MB-532

Installer is a 32-bit application and does not run on 64-bit jvm/platform
