I've had the same issue. Unfortunately I have not solve this installation problem, but I have found a workaround.

Install Java on your PC.
Download ArgoUML "Java version" from this repo. ArgoUML-0.35.1.zip.
Go where you have downloaded and unzipped the files.
Execute argouml.bat for Windows or argouml.sh for Mac and Linux.

Why is on 2022 this trying to download Java JRE from sun.com?

The script to do the windows install is very old and I guess it had some URL:s hardcoded. The scripts to build the old installation are abandoned now in favor of a Maven-oriented build. We need to find and select a maven-based tool to make the windows installer and configure it to solve this.
