Download and Install IntelliJ in Windows 32 bit OS

I am trying to IntelliJ in Windows 7 32 bit OS based on documentation.

I downloaded IntelliJ latest. And tried to install it saying "it does not work for 32 bit."

I read a statement that

JRE for 32-bit systems is not bundled with IntelliJ IDEA. If you are using a 32-bit version of Windows, select the Download and install JRE x86 by JetBrains checkbox in the installation wizard.

But I am not getting any wizard.

IntelliJ IDEA 2018.3.6 precisely supports 32-bit Windows OS (checked on Windows 7 x86). I've also checked version 2019.3.1 (.exe and .zip) but it supports 64-bit systems only.

Download an older version of IntelliJ. They have other versions available. Read the release notes and find the one that suits your requirements. The 2017 release should work. You will have to manually install the JDK package though. There's a discussion on that. To be completely honest, support for Windows 7 has almost completely faded out on all applications, since it is now considered obsolete. Check if Eclipse/BlueJ satisfies your requirements. You might also want to try deleting all the IntelliJ software and restarting your computer, then go through the download process carefully.

BlueJ v 4.1.4 supports 32-bit systems. Most IDEs now work with Java 11 and beyond, and Java 11 itself requires 64-bit systems. As the BlueJ website states, over 95% of users have a 64-bit system now, so 32-bit is a waste of development resources.
