Maybe the issue is not about fewer clicks but fewer _confusing_ clicks

Lets work on the ideal workflow, then making that as clear as possible to the 
new arrival then find ways to reduce the number of needed interactions 
between User and interface to get to a successful, troublefree install. 

Dang that was a long sentence  :)

What are the decisions:

Automated or manual download ? 
Language
To JRE or not to JRE that is the question
Platform

Obviously not in any particular order.  Technical issues may make that clearer

Cheers
