Why I cant install java ? is this a joke? are you kidding me with your new **** windows 8? so help me please.my life was perfect until i get windows 8

Please note that if you are using both 32-bit and 64-bit IE, you need to download both 32-bit and 64-bit Java respectively.

So make sure you’re testing for java using the appropriate version of IE or better install both 32-bit and 64-bit version of Java.

Hence, I’d suggest you to download the offline package manually and try installing the same.

Refer the following articles:

download the appropriate java setup file and save it on HD. Physically disconnect your computer from the internet, that's right -  pull out Ethernet cable or disconnect wireless connection. Install java from setup file (note: no error message). Reboot (not sure if necessary but done anyway).  Reconnect internet and your java is working.
