This isn't really up for debate. It's Java. Given that you don't appear to be familiar with this "JAVA" thing, you might want to check out the current stewards website for refernece: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html

The moment I read JAVA it was instantly obvious that zero shits were given.
Not that unchecky and Ninite aren't good solutions, but one other possibility for you. From what I can tell, if you get Java from the OTN page (what used to be java.sun.com, which still works although it just forwards you there), you won't have to deal with this either, because those versions don't seem to be bundled with, well, anything. That's where I always get mine (since I sometimes need the JDK along with the JRE) and I never get asked about Ask (ahem).
