Rename the file to setup.exe then run it.

Its likely your browsers DL manager renamed it during the download.

When I click the big red download button for the online version with installer, there is no run option. Only open or save. In addition, the file that it downloads has a file extension over 20 digits that my computer can't recognize. I know the site is legitimate, it's Java.com. No weird names. Help!

EDIT: Just tried the offline installer, couldn't even download it.

Just a guy who peaked at building back in the days of the GTX 980. If you see me here, assume i have technical knowledge akin to a committed hobbyist builder back then. If something's changed, you'll need to tell me(nicely plz). I'm probably asking for help with the modern build scene since I have no clue what's going on.

Are you using internet explorer(just curious)? But click save and it should save as an exe(because you are on Windows right?).

*Risky click of the day*

lol

Last time I looked the big red button is for the x86 version not x64.

Try: http://sdlc-esd.sun.com/ESD6/JSCDL/jdk/8u31-b13/jre-8u31-windows-x64.exe?GroupName=JSC&FilePath=/ESD6/JSCDL/jdk/8u31-b13/jre-8u31-windows-x64.exe&File=jre-8u31-windows-x64.exe&BHost=javadl.sun.com&AuthParam=1424207936_4931ad9bc38e17c9a6cae4c232cdf07d

Yeah, I'm on IE. But it saves as

.com&AuthParam=1424208038_552cd191adedbfa97dfdebd7aba8d361

One hell of a file extension.
