Solr requires Java to be installed. I had errors and turned out my version of Java was wrong. I had a 32-bit version. Had to download from here:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html

The latest 64-bit and it had to be .exe file.

After that I downloaded Solr from here: http://archive.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/

Version I needed was 4.10.3
