install4j fails to access JRE on remote service

Executing the installation program for a 64-bit Windows client, I'm confronted with a failure when a required JRE is missing and I choose to let it download the JRE from a remote service (which the client, when installed, will communicate with).
My install4j version is 7.0.12 (build 7368).
The install program is configured to bundle with the JRE labelled "Windows (amd64) 12.0.1".
I selected "Dynamic bundle" and an HTTP download from "${compiler:sys.publisherUrl}/jres/windows-amd64-12.0.1.tar.gz".
At the end of the build process, install4j tells me to
make sure that the file
C:\Users\ME.install4j7\jres\windows-amd64-12.0.1.tar.gz can be
downloaded from
https://www.NN.de/jres/windows-amd64-12.0.1.tar.gz
I followed this instruction and to confirm that I did it correctly, I entered https://www.NN.de/jres/windows-amd64-12.0.1.tar.gz in a browser and found that I could download the archive successfully.
When I run the installer, it doesn't find a suitable JRE, offers to download the JRE and tries to get it, but its attempts aren't successful: after a while it times out and then shows an error dialog, informing me about a problem and asking me to check my internet connection and try again. It also points me to a log file, which says
[0:368] Searching for a JVM
(...)
[0:393] Search sequence finished
[0:394] ERROR: No JVM found

(...)
[15:805] ERROR: HttpQueryInfo (try 20) failed with error code 12150
[16:255] ERROR: Giving up
My questions are obvious:
What can cause this error? What does "error code 12150" mean? Can a firewall be blocking the request?
What can I do?

Jenkins "Failed to install JDK" Exit code=-1

(Adding this here as I did not find an answer anywhere)
I configured Jenkins to automatically install JDK from the "Global Tools Configuration" > "JDK Installation" menu. The option works across all 14 nodes (various Windows and Linux) but one.
A server Windows Server 2012 R2 (amd64) with 20 executors, which has been running without issue for just under 3 years.
The log file references in the build's console (i.e. ...tools\hudson.model.JDK\install1873722508778839961log) is empty.
The build's console shows the following:

I logged onto the server as a local admin and attempted to run the JDK installation line shown in the build console:
E:\Jenkins_APA_8080\tools\hudson.model.JDK\Oracle_Java_8.0_191\jdk.exe
/s ADDLOCAL="ToolsFeature" REBOOT=ReallySuppress
INSTALLDIR=E:\Jenkins_APA_8080\tools\hudson.model.JDK\Oracle_Java_8.0_191
/L E:\Jenkins_APA_8080\tools\hudson.model.JDK
The installation seemed to run and this time the log file contained text. I double checked the owner and permissions on the Jenkins folders and they were owned by a local admin and not a domain admin (this is normal for our Jenkins installation).
However, the login credentials of the Jenkins service on this machine were set to a domain admin (not local admin).
Changing the Jenkins Services Log On credentials resolved the issue. Even though this node has been running for over a couple years without issue, its credentials were not correct.

The aforementioned error has to do with zlib tool.
After researching online, someone said that the following Visual Studio solution file needs to be built successfully in Visual Studio:
....\hadoop-2.7.3-src\hadoop-common-project\hadoop-common\src\main\native\native.sln
Using Visual Studio 2015 in Administrator mode, I opened up the native.sln file, and immediately saw an error:
enter image description here
Could someone please tell me what steps I have to take to resolve said error?

So there were quite a few steps I had to take in order to resolve the problems.
Within the ....\hadoop-2.7.3-src\hadoop-common-project\hadoop-common\src\main\winutils directory, I opened up the following solution in Visual Studio 2015:
winutils.sln
Within .....\hadoop-2.7.3-src\hadoop-common-project\hadoop-common\src\main\winutils\libwinutils.c , I commented out the following line of code, and made a modified copy of it as shown below:
//const WCHAR* wsceConfigRelativePath = WIDEN_STRING(STRINGIFY(WSCE_CONFIG_DIR)) L"\\" WIDEN_STRING(STRINGIFY(WSCE_CONFIG_FILE));
const WCHAR* wsceConfigRelativePath = WIDEN_STRING("../etc/hadoop") L"\\" WIDEN_STRING("wsce-site.xml");
Also, In the winutils solution's property window, I had to set the platform value to x64 as the screenshot below shows:
Next, I opened Dos command prompt, and checked the exact version of my Windows OS:
ver
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393]
Also, I opened up the property window of the libwinutils project, and ensured that properties that are marked in the following snapshot had the proper values:
Also, I took the same steps for the properties of the winutils project:
(Sorry, stackoverflow would not allow me to place another picture snapshot, but all you basically have to do is make sure the the winutils project's property are set properly )

Playscape publishing kir (1.17) error: Failed to execture lib2dex

We have problem with PlayscapeSDK 1.17.411 in our Unity Android project.
When we build the game, on "Publishing kit post-process" step we have this error:
An error occured while applying post-build logic: Failed to execture lib2dex. Error description: jar2dex.
PlayscapeSDK we add in project according to official instruction.
We build project on OS Windows7 x64.
System variables ANDROID_HOME, JAVA_HOME, JDK_HOME added.
Also path to JAVA exist in PATH variable.
Google Play Service lib(google-play-services.jar) we stripped (3,79 MB)
Using soft:
Playscape sdk 1.17.411

By the way, the same error we have, when try to build app on MacOS (El Capitan)

Eclipse throws org.osgi.framework.BundleException on launch

When I try launching Eclipse Indigo on Windows XP I am getting an error and the prompter tells me to go to the log file.
Apparently, it's throwing an org.osgi.framework.BundleException:

Does anyone know how to fix this? I believe it stopped working because I played around with the Java path trying to get a project ported onto a Blackberry emulator.
However I tried setting the path to the correct value but I'm getting no luck.
I've even installed a fresh version of Eclipse into another directory but the problem does not go away.

From http://www.javalobby.org/java/forums/t92895.html (as indicated by Banana Man in the comments):
Put the unzipped "eclipse" folder under c drive. Create a shortcut of
"eclipse.exe". In the target, put this:
C:\eclipse\eclipse.exe -vm "C:\Program
Files\Java\jre1.5.0_11\bin\javaw.exe"
Note - "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_11\bin\javaw.exe" is where your
jre is installed at. You can change this path to match your your jre
path.
In the start in, I have this: C:\eclipse
