Description Henry Bruce 2016-09-27 22:01:34 UTC 
Observed behavior
-----------------
An application developer who tries to install an SDK built for x86_64 host on a 32 bit Linux distro sees the following message: 
"Error: Installation machine not supported!"

Expected behavior
-----------------
If SDK host architecture is not compatible cause of installation failure should be made clear.
e.g. "This SDK was built to run on an x86_64 host but you are trying to install it on an x86 machine."
