What's the difference between java JRE tarball and EXE
I'm getting confused about what package to use in order to install JAVA JRE on a Windows server machine.
Is there any difference between the tarball jre-8u201-windows-x64.tar.gz and jre-8u201-windows-x64.exe
Is there any more tools available in one or another, and which is recommended to use and why ?
Or both are the same, just the installation process that change.

The tar has raw files.
The exe has additionally an installer.
At your current level choose the EXE.
