32 bit VMWare installer says I need a 64 bit CPU

Hello all, I have an older computer that I am trying to install VMWare on. It uses Lubuntu with Wily Werewolf 15.10. I selected the VMWare 10.0 32-bit installer for linux and downloaded the file (VMware-Workstation-Full-10.0.0-1295980.i386.bundle). But when I go to the directory and attempt to run it through the terminal, I get a prompt in a pop-up installer window that says "One or more of your processors does not have the necessary 64-bit extensions to run VMWare virtual machines". The processor is an Intel Pentium 4, which I am aware is 32-bit, but why is the 32-bit installer telling me I need 64-bit hardware? Would trying an older version of VMWare fix this?
