Why can't I update to Mac 10.4.1

I am trying to run a program that requires Java 1.5 or higher and it said I needed to update my Mac OS X from 10.3.9 to Mac OS X 10.4. I downloaded it and when I tried to install it a messages says I cannot install it on "this computer" but did not say why I couldn't. Why would that be and what do I need to do to fix it?
Thanks
I love my Mac but admit I am not the most savy in the group when it comes to fixing things on here!

You need to buy a copy of 10.4 before you can upgrade.

Likewise next month (or whenever), An upgrade from 10.4.x to 10.5 will need to be paid for.

If you buy a retail copy of 10.4 now, It will probably be higher than 10.4.1 anyway.

If it were me, i would either wait and buy 10.5. or still wait until 10.5 comes out and buy 10.4 at a substantial discount (hopefully).
 
Didn't _Apple_ release all the Java updates for Mac OS X? I've never downloaded Java from Sun's site for a Mac, I believe...
 
I don't think you can download it from Sun. When I've downloaded Java for Window/Linux, I've never seen the option for Mac OS X there. It's always been provided by Apple.
