1. Download the Java 8 SDK for Windows from Oracle. You will get a file named jdk-8u101-windows-x64.exe.
2. Open the downloaded file with 7-Zip, which will show aa list of files and folders.
3. Open folder '.rsrc' (select and double click this folder within 7-Zip).
4. Open folder '1033' (or the folder of greatest size).
5. Open folder 'JAVA_CAB10' (or the folder of greatest size).
6. Open file '111' (or the folder of greatest size).
7. Open file 'tools.zip'.
8. Extract its contents to a directory where own write permissions, for example: C: \ Users \ Daniel \ Documents \ jdk-8u102-x64. To prevent issues, I recommend a directory without spaces.
9. From within this directory, search for all .pack files and extract them using unpack2000.exe command line tool found in the bin subdirectory. Following windows prompt command does the trick when executed from within the extracted directory: for /r %i in (*.pack) do .\bin\unpack200.exe "%i" "%~pi%~ni.jar"
