Answer 1

You have to do nothing buddy. Just use 32 bit version of application or install 64 bit JDK. You installed 32 bit JDK and you are trying to access 64 bit version of that application.

Answer 2

It could be problem with 32 and 64 version. Maybe you trying to launch 32-bit shortcut on your Desktop. Try to launch 64 version (idea64.exe) inside IDEA folder. This worked for me.
