A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
I've tried installing various versions of JRE and JDK and they all failed without error message.
Then I created a user with ASCII username and the installer worked properly.
My normal username is in Russian.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
run JRE installer with Russian username in windows (path to user directory must be partially in non-ASCII)

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
JRE will be installed
ACTUAL -
I'm asked for elevation permission and then nothing happens

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
install JRE from user with ASCII username

FREQUENCY : always
