      FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
      none

      ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
      Windows 10 Home Build 10586.

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      Fresh installation of Windows 10 Home Build 10586. Trying to install java, file jdk-8u101-windows-x64.exe. After running the installer, as administrator, in the task manager appears for 2 seconds "Java Platform SE binary" and then it disappears with no error window appearing. Xamarin installer tried to install jdk-7u79-windows-i586.exe but was also unable returning "JDK installation exited with error code: 123".
      The problem origin was the user account name that had special characters (greek) and this caused the problem. Creating a new user account with english characters solved the problem.

      REGRESSION. Last worked in version 8u101
