Failed to Install about modorganizer2-linux-installer

[rockerbacon]

Mod Organizer 2 does not work with Proton GE. As of now, only Steam's Proton 5.0 seems to support the vcruntime it uses.
Any reason why you want to use Proton GE? Everything was setup to work out of the box without the need for any custom build of Proton.

Line 414:

wine cmd.exe /c echo '%AppData%' returned empty string, error message ""

This indicates that you have used two incompatible versions of Wine in the same prefix. I recommend you purge your current prefix and let Steam setup a new one:

1. Remove (or rename) the directory $HOME/.steam/steam/compatdata/72850
2. Configure Skyrim to use Proton 5 in Steam
3. Launch Skyrim on Steam. No need to play the game here, just wait for the Launcher to show up

After that everything should work, remember that you'll need to reinstall Mod Organizer 2.

didn't have any luck yet.

like you said, I removed the directory: /home/sbm/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/72850
, set Skyrim to use Proton 5.0-7
and started Skyrim launcher

I still get the error: wine cmd.exe /c echo '%AppData%' returned empty string, error message ""
any other ideas?

Edit:

Any reason why you want to use Proton GE?

btw I had Skyrim set to use GE because Skyrim wouldn't run with Proton 5 for me. It does now run with 5 correctly

An interesting note, if I run the errored command with the exact path to Proton 5 wine, then it does show the AppData folder.

The previous behaviour shows up again if i just use the wine version installed at /usr/bin/wine . aka. wine-5.8 (Staging)

I got MO2 installed now! Yay!

I did a few things that eventually got the install to work.

1. I changed the wine config in the lutris gui to point to where Proton 5 in located: "/home/sbm/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Proton 5.0/dist/bin/wine" . and I toggled "use system winetricks" on
2. I purged wine staging: sudo apt purge wine-staging
3. I got a error "wineserver not found!" so I reinstalled winetricks

that did it. I re-ran the install command and it all worked. Thanks for the help and the cool script. MO2 is my favorite mod manger
