Your best bet is probably to use the OpenJDK build for Windows. It's an MSI file and it doesn't have any of the Oracle crap attached to it.

Thank you! I did not even know that existed!
Also, OpenJDKs packages exists for various GNU/Linux distributions.
That I did know. ;-)

But I work as a sysadmin at a Windows shop, and deploying the JRE on ~80 machines has been a real pain so far. With an MSI package, I can just use a GPO.
