Download the latest version of Jmol using the link given below

Extract the downloaded zip file and double click on Jmol (Executable Jar File) from the list.
I have kept both Java as well as Jmol installer files in C drive Downloads folder.

Let me know if you still have issues regarding installation of Java and Jmol.
First of all thankyou for helping me in this matter. Sir actually i have downloaded java as per the instructions given by you and even checked in the command prompt as you said and it showed me the same version which you have i.e java version 1.8.0_361 but that file is still not opening. I am doing this jmol work in the windows batch file of jmol . I have not found any problem in doing work in this file except that when i save my molecule's image in .mol format it gets saved but doesn't open . And the problem still persists where java installation is done but whenever i try to open the executable file it asks to reinstall.

For some reason , I am unable to read your full message here in the forums.
Please write to me and send your .mol files to the following email id, I will try to figure out and resolve the issue.

Please use Jmol (executable jar file) to open the Jmol interface and save the models as .mol file. If you save in image format for example, JPEG or PNG or PDF you will not be able to open in Jmol interface.
