Hello,

          You can install the JavaVM to use to run the installer (if 
there isn't a JVM present on the system - common in windows boxes), 
installing JRE is a minimal effort and can be done silently - you can 
remove it the same way after if you wish but often Java installers are 
used to install Java programs so you don't want to bother doing that.

Cheers,

Neil
