Hello,

I can’t install Java (jre-8u321-windows-x64). An error page appears and it shows:

ligne : 1
caractère : 1
erreur : ")" attendu
code: 0
url :

do you want to continue to run scripts on this page?

If I click yes nothing happens, it doesn’t download, and if I click no it cancels, so I need help—what is this error?

    Hi, a few responses here:

    https://java.com/fr/download/help/enable_browser.html

    "If I click yes nothing happens it doesn’t download"
    There is nothing to download (by itself) if the JRE is installed...
    JRE is what we call a software layer (to simplify), the JRE as its name indicates Java Runtime Environment is a runtime environment for a JAVA program.
    Or are you referring to the Java program itself which is the same since the program requires the JRE on your computer and properly configured/activated in the browser if the program (applet) is intended to run in this context.
    One of Java’s specifics is that it can run on any device: on your computer, in the browser, on your bike/fridge/excavator, and that is possible thanks to how the JRE works: it provides the software layer enabling the operation of Java programs.

    More details on what JRE, JVM and JDK are:

    and a Java applet:

    Hello,

    The download problem does not come from Java itself but from Internet Explorer.

    Internet Explorer is obsolete and will even be disabled in a few months for Windows 10 computers, so it would be high time to switch browsers.

    As for Java 8, it is also quite old (2014); the latest version is Java 17, to download from the publisher's site.
