I am trying to install the latest Java 8 update (Java 8 Update 271) but every time I try to update, either via the Settings App or by downloading the installer manually from their site, I get the following error. There are a bunch of posts around the internet about this, but none that I have found that provide a solution to the issue. I have tried rebooting and that doesn't fix the issue either.

in that event, it may be some data corruption or something installed that shouldn't. Let us know your Etrecheck results:
Then I would contact the company whose software depends on Java and ask them to make an update that works with the Java on your system.
What has been rather an oddity on the side, which could be impacting it, is many corporate users are now having to pay for licensing Java 8v203 and later, and this is restricting their access on Windows 10. This may also create problems for companies wanting a nice open platform to develop their software around. It may be time simply to find a different app.
Have you tried going directly through http://www.java.com/
Are there any applications in the list you don't recognize?
No, I recognize them all.
I have, but even the standalone installer results in the same error.
Here's what the report contains....
