java 8 on win2K

[generalguy1510]

I have installed java 8 before with Bllackwingcat's extended kernel but now after a reinstall i get "this program has generated errors and will be closed by windows an error log is being created"

i have tried both offline and online installers

has anyone else gotten the latest java to install?

Hi.

You should use tgz package :3

Download form here?

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html

unzip and copy to

C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_121

then select in Java Control Panel, and un-select the previous version?

The tgz actually worked. Thanks

It doesn't work here. Control panel shows Java 8 is installed, but https://www.java.com/verify/ and javatester.org/ fails with Exception:
