Java Installation Script Error

"people still use Java?"

Yep.

Had an issue with installation of Java from https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

In this case it was JRE-8 update 941 and kept getting

"An error has occurred in the script on this page"


There are some methods where you can suppress error messages in Windows by going to Internet Options and in the Advanced tab, disabling Script Debug. 

Another option to try is this:

Open a Command Prompt in the directory that your Java installer is in and run the executable using this syntax

jre-8u491-windows-x64.exe INSTALL_SILENT=Enable
