Java install

[Midnight]

Good Day!

 

 So I've had a frustrating few hours trying to figure out why my Java will not install. I was trying to play FTB Minecraft and it would not work because I had an outdated Java. So went to Control Panel -> Uninstall a Program -> uninstall Java Version 7. 

 

Next I went to Google Chrome, my default browser, and to Java to dl the Version 8. Well apparently Google Chrome does not support Java Version 7 or 8, but I clicked the dl option. It came up with the run program, but after clicking run an install window never came up. I checked installed programs and it wasn't there. So after several times and checking applications (to see if it was running in the background) I looked for solutions.

 

When you pull up the Task Manager and see all processes it shows two SE Java Binary files running with 0 cpu usage. When you delete them, a window opens that states the program wasn't installed correctly and would you like to "reinstall correctly" or it was installed "correctly". I've tried clicking "reinstall correctly" and it just repeats the same process above.

 

So because Chrome does not support Java, I decided to try Firefox. Same sh**, different program. So I tried the dreaded IE, and still no luck. Run window opens, no install and in processes shows the binary running. I've checked this link for solutions to no avail. The MSI program they suggest states that there were no fixes to be found. 

 

I don't understand why I cannot get Java to install. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

I know it will installing Internet Explorer because I need it for work and that's the browser I have to use. It's possible you may have pop-ups blocked or you may have blocked a window from opening a new tab and that could be stopping it.

But if I had pop ups blocked wouldn't that have prevented the run window from opening?

Did you try the offline version?

I removed the " nl/ " from that link

https://www.java.com/nl/download/manual.jsp

and 'something' added an "en" in its place, so if you do the same, the link for you country's language or location might auto-fix itself.

https://www.java.com/download/manual.jsp
   changed to 
https://www.java.com/en/download/

Maybe.
