The Installer Encountered an Error that caused the installation to fail.

When I try to install java 8 update 11 on my 10.9.5 Macbook Air, it fails and gives me the message "The Installer Encountered an Error that caused the installation to fail."

It should also be noted that I deleted every single folder in the java versions folder (/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions) except the "A" folder. Stupid move, I know.

Now none of my java applications will launch, did I screw myself over or can I fix this?
