The JDK installer for Windows doesn't do its job entirely right. Some registry keys for the JRE are missing. The Java EE installer is relying on them. You basically need to install JRE as well which you can get from http://java.com. You don't need to uninstall the JDK. Just install JRE over it, it'll set the proper registry keys and your Java EE installer will then continue.
Note that the Java EE pack basically contains the Glassfish server and optionally also bundles the Netbeans IDE. You can alternatively also just download and install Glassfish separately from http://glassfish.java.net. Or if you happen to have installed Glassfish already or already have another server like Tomcat or JBoss AS, then you don't need the Java EE pack at all.
