How can I install jdk 8 on Windows 10 without failure

jactorOct 7 2016 — edited Oct 10 2016

I have been a java developer since 2001 and never experienced serious trouble installing JDKs on my developer laptop.

  • I cannot install JDK 8 on my laptop with Windows 10

  • I can install JDK 7, but I need JDK 8...

  • I have uninstalled all previous jdks from my system.

  • I download the installer (101 and 102 is available)

  • I run the installer... click 'Yes' when prompted from Windows security... the "arrow wheel" spins for couple of seconds... then nothing...

My Windows build is 1511...

For some reason, JRE is installed, but I need the JDK. I am a java developer and this is a "show stopper". Without being able to install the JDK, I am out of work...

My system after the install (with jre but not a jdk):
