That girl you know’s installer doesn’t play nice on Linux. There are ways to get it working but the easiest way I’ve found is to install it on Windows and than copy it to my Linux machine. I’m guessing that isn’t an option for you so try Lutris. I’ve only ever gotten them working with Lutris. It’s still a crapshoot whether or not it works.
Maybe if they don’t have a Windows device they could set up a Windows virtual machine in their Linux environment, install the games to the VM, then “pull” them out to the main environment?
Avoid Wine 10, sometime in the last 6 months the same installers that worked before stopped doing their thing, those that use a multi-step-process during extraction simply fail. Using Proton-GE-9-27 i have a 100% success rate over the last months.

I haven’t had issues with it yet, running it through wine seems to work for me. That being said it’s not guaranteed to behave.
Are you using standard WINE? I must admit the thought never occured to me to try it.
Use Wine 9 or a fork of Wine 9, and install to the C: drive. Works every time.
I’ll give it a go. Thank you!

I used to do that. It works but it’s a hassle. You need lots of RAM and storage to dedicate to a VM. It’ll work though.
