      Description

        If one incorrectly downloads the JDK aarch64 bundle on an intel mac and tries to install it the error message reads -in the case of 17.0.2- "JDK 17.0.2" can't be installed on this computer.

        It should say instead something like:
        "This installation of JDK 17.0.2 is for arm64 systems. On this computer please download the x64 installer"

        NOTE: This issue was fixed in both direction. Meaning installing aarch64 on Intel Mac will give following error message: "This installation of JDK 17.0.2 is for arm 64 systems. On this computer please download the x64 installer". Installing x64 on Apple Silicon Mac will give following error message: "This installation of JDK 17.0.2 is for x64 systems. On this computer please download the arm 64 installer".
