Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
Best Answer
There are two errors I could pick up on in the log. The first is that it indicates that your runtime is outdated. I believe that means your Java version is out of date. Try to update it. The second error is the operation timed out one, which means that you have no/poor/spotty internet connection, or that you have a firewall up. Try to either get to a better internet hotspot and/or turn off your firewall.

Answer 2
It seems like you're Java is out of date. Try installing the latest version then test it out at https://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp to see if you actually have it.
Additionally, you might want to turn off you're firewall, there usually an option to disable for 15 minutes. That should be enough time if you have decent internet. If not, there are longer periods of time you can select.
