Matt,
The installer itself needs Java 7 to run as does the installation you're
trying to create. The native installer on Windows detects all your Java
installations. If you get redirected to install Java, then your system
doesn't not have at least Java 7 available of a bitness matching the
bitness of you installer you've downloaded. So your first step is to
install Java. If you have a 64 bit system, install the 64 bit Java 8
and use the 64 bit installer. On Windows you should not have to tell
the installer where Java is installed; all Java versions should be found
in the system registry and if there is an appropriate one (high enough
version and correct bitness), it should be used. If not, you'll be
directed where to download one that will work.
