worth trying to install using the Windows commandline utility: winget

PS C:\Users\jblogs> winget search J-language
Name       Id                   Version Source
-----------------------------------------------
J-language Jsoftware.J.9.03     9.03    winget
J-language Jsoftware.J.9.4      9.4.1   winget
J-language Jsoftware.J.9.4.slim 9.4.1   winget

PS C:\Users\jblogs> winget install Jsoftware.J.9.4
