After searching and searching, I've finally fixed this "Unable to locate Java Runtime" error.
I'm on a 64 bit system.
Simply going to the Java download page and downloading Java 8 will install the 32 bit version of Java.
I had to manually find and install the 64 bit version of java. Once installed, the "Unable to Locate Java Runtime" error went away and the game loaded normally.
NOWHERE in all the support articles, forums, and what not did ANYONE mention 64/32 bit installations of Java, nor that the default "Java" install linked to in several support pages is 32 bit by default.
I really hope this helps some of you as this was super frustrating to sort through and figure out.
