I did not have any problems with it. Must be something different.
Make sure you download from
official Oracle's website (keep in mind there is a demo's and actual full version, download latter which says "Mac OS X x64").
And when you say it failed, who and in which forms it indicates for you that it failed? You might missing some important details, give a try again, and tell us exactly what you see.
