it worked because it tried to open on C:\windows\syswow64. If you see the log, It tries to open the msi on C:\windows\system32 and I assume it finds nothing there. I think it's a problem with the exe in 8u60, it worked before with 8u51 and 8u45. Java 8 is becoming a pain in the ass for massive deployment. So far we ensured that there is no other installation running and that java is completetly removed beforehand as those were the only indications we found on the web.
