Could not install Gradle distribution from '<https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.0-bin.zip>'.
The cached zip file C:\Users\HP\.gradle\wrapper\dists\gradle-8.0-bin\ca5e32bp14vu59qr306oxotwh\gradle-8.0-bin.zip may be corrupted.

Could not create parent directory for lock file C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_201\bin\wrapper\dists\gradle-8.0-bin\ca5e32bp14vu59qr306oxotwh\gradle-8.0-bin.zip. lck

Yeah, `C:\Program Files (x86)` is a protected diretory where you can only write as administrator.
It seems that you defined `C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_201\bin` as `GRADLE_USER_HOME` environment variable, or via `gradle.properties` file.

Yeah, that is not going to work.
And you should maybe not use a 32-bit Java nowadays.

`GRADLE_USER_HOME` is where Gradle stores its caches, not the Java it uses.
The default is `~/.gradle`.

What you probably meant to set was `JAVA_HOME`
