Java installation failed on Mac

I'm attempting to install JDK 8 Update 121.pkg on a Mac running macOS Sierra 10.12.3.

The installer produces the following error message, see screenshot: "The installation failed... Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."

How would I contact Oracle? Or is there a better fix?

I would recommend you use Homebrew and a tool like jenv to manage the different Java versions on OSX:

brew cask install java
brew install jenv

OSX needs its outdated system-default Java for the occasional task, so you don't want to go replacing it outright.
