'This is a x86 bundle and does not match that of the current architecture. Please download the x64 bundle.'

That message seems valid to me.

I want to install the file called 'VMware-Workstation-Full-10.0.6-2700073.i386.bundle'.

No, you do not. You are making a mistake here. You do not install a 32-bit VMWare bundle in a 64-bit system.

You need to install 64-bit VMWare bundle in your 64-bit system. Inside a 64-bit VMWare you can then install different operating systems that can be 32-bit.
