You have two Java installers mounted on your Mac, and attempting to install Java for OS X 2017-001 (32-bit), which is incompatible with Catalina, and clearly cannot be installed into a Java 8 Update 231 installer. That explains all of the yellow badges shown. If you remove the Java for OS X 2017-001, then an attempt to install Java 8 Update 231 (64-bit) will likely succeed provided there are no other issues.

Did you start here: https://www.java.com/en/ ?
BTW, screenshots: How to take a screenshot on your Mac - Apple Support will help a lot

Any application requiring the ancient Java 6 is not going to work on Catalina.

Yes, I did. Thank you, I wrote this question from my iPhone, would have been easier to screenshot with my mac.

Hi, so I am trying to download Dr.Java and it required Java for OS X 2017-001. I already installed Java 8 Update 231 but need Dr. Java for an online course. Thanks for replying.
