I'm not sure that's the right forum to ask, I asked on some other forum no one else could have help me so I thought that because I'm using Windows 8.1 someone here could've helped me.

As I said I'm using Windows 8.1 version 6.3 build 9600 (Image version: 6.3.9600.17031), when I try to run the installer of Java JDK / Java JRE nothing happen, it start two services then they just close.

Some day ago I installed Java and nothing went wrong but this morning I had to unistall it and re-install it, after the unistall the installer won't run in any way, I tried changing the compatibility system, using the troubleshooter, I tried "sfc /scannow" and there was nothing wrong, I tried "DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth" and it said that the "archive" has been "repaired" but the installer still doesn't work...

    As always I found myself a solution.

    I searched for everything that contains "Java" in C:\ and I found some value (that could have prevented Java Installer from running because it thought Java was already installed), I deleted them (carefully, don't just delete everything on your computer, that's not the way.)

    Now I tried launching the installer and.. Here we go! Finally I can install it.
