The same here ! Even by deleting all java files already installed on my pc, the auto installation of java in your laucher show "Extracting..." and nothing happens after 2 hours.
I have enought ram and the java file dowloaded by the laucher is a 64bit. Running on window 7 64bit.

The launcher's java download is broken due to oracle's recent change to their licencing policy. They require a sign in now. I don't know when that will be amended in the launcher, if ever.
If it is stuck on extracting, you need to download it yourself from here. Make 100% sure you download jre 8.1.* 64bit.
Next, open the launcher, click the gear icon, go to 'Java' and make sure the Java Executable path points at wherever you just installed it. By default, windows installs it at C:\Program Files\Java\... It needs to point at a javaw.exe

I don't know what to say... I have installed Java offline 64bits manually form the link you've provided. In the gear icon then 'Java' the path to the executable is the right one 'C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_211\bin\javaw.exe', still the laucher can't found it -> 'Invalid Selection' it says.
I'll try other ways later.

Sorry to jump in, but I'm having the same issue; trying to point the launcher to minecraft's own runtime (1.8.0_51 64bit) but I'm having the 'Invalid Selection' bit as well...
