What can I do?

You should not add the .gz extension to a Safari download. This will create a file in tar format that has a .tar.gz extension. You need a file in .tar.gz format, and in order to get this you will need to configure Safari not to automatically unpack "safe" files. The website instructions about renaming the download are for Chrome, not for Safari.

To do this, in your Safari preferences (General page), you need to uncheck the box at the bottom of the page (Open "safe" files after downloading). After doing this you need to delete your previously downloaded Java SE Embedded file from the Downloads folder (very important), and then download the Java SE Embedded file again. Please check the Downloads folder to make sure this has produced a file with the .tar.gz extension and a different size than the previous downloaded file.

The next step is to completely remove the EJRE add-on from the ReadyNAS and delete your renamed .tar.gz file from the ReadyNAS.

Now you are ready to follow the installation steps again with the correct .tar.gz file (not renamed this time).
