Java install problems

[alchemydragon]

Okay, so I am trying to play a game on my Ubuntu 14.04 through Steam. I get a message box that pops up saying it needs java 1.6.0 runtime enviroment. So I find java 1.6.0 install and try and run it in wine since the message box had the wine logo on it. I got an error stating something about unable to find a reg entry for a BRDriver. So i go to get java 1.8. This is what I am getting with it:

draco@dracocave:~/Downloads$ wine jre-8*.exe
err:service:load_reg_string Error 1804 while reading value L"Group"
err:service:scmdatabase_load_services Error 1804 reading registry key for service L"BRDriver" - skipping

I have been looking every where online but nothing that addresses this error about the BRDriver reg error directly since this is the only error I am getting. Does anyone have an idea on how I can get around this?

Thanks in advance!

Try a clean wineprefix.
