It's this issue: https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/System/Installation#AVX
When you choose what it is you are downloading to install, you choose whether to download an AVX instance or a non-AVX instance of the J engine. If the AVX instance doesn't work, and the non-AVX instance does work, then AVX is probably the issue for you. If neither version works it's probably a permissions issue or some other machine configuration problem. Or... that's my understanding...
