Unable to install JDK 8 in windows

Question

I have downloaded jdk-8u101-windows-i586.exe. My PC configuration is Windows 7 (32 Bit). I have already JDK and JRE 1.7. I want to install JDK 8 as well. But when I run the installer it is showing

the program might not have installed correctly

With two possible action as follows

Reinstall using recommended settings.

This program installed correctly.

I tried the first option but nothing happened. Even no other windows popup with error message. I tried troubleshot with help message but nothing worked.

What could be my problem. Please help me to install the JDK 8.

Not a programming question. Install netbeans + java, always works smoothly. — agilob, Aug 01 '16 at 07:11
I would recommend you get off 32-bit ASAP, my 8 year old has a machine with 24 GB, and she isn't developing code yet. You can get 64-bit phones these days. — Peter Lawrey, Aug 01 '16 at 07:37

As a first step, reboot the system and try installing JDK 8u101 (32-bit) again. Sometimes, a failed install/uninstall attempt could lead to this state with stale registries. Also, make sure that you have downloaded this from the correct web site: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

If this still does not work, suggest you to submit a bug at: http://bugs.java.com/
