java - Where is the src.zip for JDK8u40?

Question

I installed the JDK8u40, but only find the javafx-src.zip.

Where can I find the source code for JDK? The src.zip?

Below is what I get after installation:

And btw, I didn't see the installation wizard! This is quite strange.

Today I tried several Java installation packages. All are downloaded from Oracle official site.

• jdk-6u45-windows-i586.exe
• jdk-7u75-windows-i586.exe
• jdk-8u20-windows-i586.exe
• jdk-8u25-windows-i586.exe
• jdk-8u31-windows-i586.exe
• jdk-8u40-windows-i586.exe

Both 6u45 and 7u75 installed well on my box. I can see the install wizard. And the src.zip is installed.

But 8u25 ~ 8u40 all installed silently. And no src.zip file is installed because I have no chance to select it in the wizard.

I am not sure if this is my fault or someone at Oracle made a mistake.

As @SubOptimal commented, the /s option indicates a silent install. I am wondering if there's an option to force the GUI install wizard to open.

I am using Windows 7 Enterprise x64 Build 7601 SP1

Make sure the Source code is not disabled when downloading.

Then as you can see on the picture, selecting "Source Code" will tell you exactly where it is located.

Notice that I've downloaded the 32 bits version to make sure to reproduce the same use case as you.

Edit

As per your new edits and comments, it seems what you want to know now is why you don't see the installation wizards. I'm pretty sure this is due to old-set registry key.

Run the following command

reg query hklmsoftwaremicrosoftwindowscurrentversioninstallerUserDataS-1-5-18Products /f "java" /s | find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"

Now, navigate to each of the returned path browsing with regedit and delete their entire parent (the big hexa number).

Re-try the installation and I'm pretty sure you will see the wizard.

As for the sources, Oracle documentation specify how to download them in silent mode.

jdk.exe /s ADDLOCAL="SourceFeature"
