I made second reply that seems to have either been lost, or not yet moderated.
In it, I said that eventually the Installer did get Eclipse installed. Without proof (repeated experiments using the scientific method), I conclude the problem was a combination of, or one or the other of, having downloaded the installer from the Internet and/or Administrator Privileges.
I brought up it's Properties page to acknowledge and Unblock the file. Then, from the Installer's context menu, I selected Run As Administrator.
Eclipse did get installed to C:\Program Files\.
So, are you saying the Oomph Installer is java code wrapped inside a Windows Executable?

Brian,
I'd be concerned that when you run the installation later, that you
would need to run it as admin as well. Especially if you've installed
it using a bundle pool, which is the default...

No dice with 'run as admin', unblock etc etc etc. I am very near to giving up on Eclipse for ever, when even getting to the start line is so difficult. I am trying to get a school pupil up and running, and rehearsing the process myself, but using Eclipse is going to put him off IT for good. With Visual Studio, I could easily direct him to do the installation and have a console program running in minutes (excl the long installation wait). VS is an absolute breeze compared to this quagmire.
FWIW, here is my log info:

[etc]
I feel that I should not have to google for hours just to get the thing installed. This seems like a quite avoidable waste of time (an unhandled exception?). The machine is Windows 7 and I have numerous versions of VS and Android Studio installed.

Thank you for your helpful reply and explanation of the possible cause. There is not much context to give, as it is a first-time install and (in the student's case) could be on a new install of Windows 7|8|10. The idea of downloading all first certainly appeals. The page cited has this:
Hint: You will need a Java runtime environment (JRE) to use Eclipse (Java SE 8 or greater is recommended). All downloads are provided under the terms and conditions...
Is this the version requirement you refer to?
For someone new to all this, I must say that I find the various versions of Eclipse confusing. The listed "Eclipse for..." variants seem to refer to what would simply be a different project type in Visual Studio, yet it seems that I have to decide what types of projects I am going to work on at download time. If I download the ...for Android one and then want to do some C coding, do I have to download the C/C++ one then? I assume the "Eclipse Installer" is just a downloader of a selected package. But then what is "Eclipse Neon" relative to all these listed IDEs? This seems to be yet another separate download... (see here ). Sorry to go on, but the landscape is somewhat confusing, and I am certain I would be asked all these questions and more by any number of students. A link such as "Just give me Eclipse, I'll decide on project types later" might help! Ok, the IDE might be nothing without some added bits, but this could provide a very basic feature set (or perhaps ALL features!) such as building a 'hello world' console application (in Java, say), which is what most total beginners start with.
I downloaded the Java EE version, unzipped the file, and ran eclipse.exe. The splash screen showed Eclipse Neon.3 - I am now wondering what ".3" means, when the download page refers to Neon 4.6. I was finally able to run a console Java application. I then downloaded the Android version of the IDE and this does seem to be a quite separate IDE (are preferences shared/sharable...?). I tried starting a new project, and got an empty message box, followed by one with the message "Errors occurred during the build. Errors running builder 'Android Resource Manager' on project 'EclipseApp1'. java.lang.NullPointerException". There may be other things to configure for Android (and perhaps some conflcit with an Android Studio setup).
Enough for now - but hardly a straightforward or ideal experience and the "installer" seems to be something to avoid, for me. However, I do realise that all this software is (or can be) free.
