Try running it from the commandline, hold shift + right-click in a blank spot in the folder the installer is in, and choose open command/powershell here, and try

java -jar <filename>

 

replace <filename> with whatever the installer filename is (you should be able to tab complete it after a few characters)

No.

 

Make sure you have Java installed.

If you do and you cannot double-click Jar files, you can run Jarfix: https://johann.loefflmann.net/jarfix.
