Newest Java Runtime Environment (JRE) in 32 and 64 bit

I just want to download the newest JRE in 32 and in 64 bit!

At the download page of java.com I can only find an installer, but I just want to download the -maybe zipped- folder.

Can you help me where I can get this?

Thanks for your help!

Kind regards

No, there are no official portable zipped distributions, but you can make one yourself, it's quite simple. Here's an instruction on how to do it for JDK 7 (for JDK 8 the procedure should not be different):

In a nutshell, you should unpack the .exe file as a 7-zip archive and rename all of the *.pack.jar files inside to corresponding *.jar files (just remove ".pack" from their names).
