Thus spake JoelCFC25 via messages:
The “automatically retrieve Java” portion of the installer has not
worked for several years, and even when it did it could not reliably
fetch the correct version for one’s system architecture (i.e., 32-bit
Java vs 64-bit Java).
I’m in the process of removing the Java downloader from the Windows
installer right now, as it appears that java.com doesn’t have any
downloads for anything after Java 8.
