Im trying to install a game through Lutris using the game’s installer and I keep coming across the same error that I can’t really find much information on. It seems to be an issue with dotnet itself or the actual game installer and not WINE though, so I am unsure how to proceed.
Here is the log of the install process.

This part seems to be describing the issue.
Failure processing application bundle. Failed to create directory [Z:\path\to\executable\/home/$USER/.cache/dotnet_bundle_extract\] for extracting bundled files.
Some more details:
- The game is installed using an installer
 - The game is made with Unity 2021 with a Mono version equivalent to .NET 4.8
 
Here is what i have tried so far (Updated):
- Reinstalling Mono in the prefix using WINETRICKS
 - Uninstalling Mono and installing .NET 4.8 using WINETRICKS
 - Editing the register in the WINE prefix to show .NET 4.8 being installed (you can see this in provided logs, but I am unsure if I am doing it correctly)
 - Creating a symlink to the users home directory (whis ‘works’ but it installs DLLs outside of the prefix)
 
Here is the install script I am using:
--- game_slug: gamename name: GameName year: 2023 user: t3nk3y runner: wine slug: gamename version: GameName - Alpha Test description:  notes: "Actual game install will occur on the first run of the game." script:   files:     - gamenameinstaller: N/A:Please select the GameNameInstaller.exe file   game:     arch: win64     exe: drive_c/users/$USER/AppData/Local/GameName/Launcher/GameNameInstaller.exe     prefix: "$GAMEDIR"   installer:     - task:         description: Creating Wine prefix         arch: win64         name: create_prefix         prefix: "$GAMEDIR"     - task:         description: Working around .NET check         name: set_regedit         path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full         key: Release         value: 0x00080ea8         type: REG_DWORD     - task:         description: Launching GameNameInstaller.exe         arch: win64         executable: gamenameinstaller         name: wineexec         prefix: $GAMEDIR   wine:     UseGLSL: disabled     dxvk: true     esync: true
I am unsure of what to try next, and any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.


@ShaunaTheDead @BloodSlut of course it matters. Environment variables get passed to wine, after which other processes inherit them, simply because they are children of wine. Because wine makes them available to windows calls too, well, you get them in wine processes.
Okay, so there’s nothing actually wrong with `DOTNET_BUNDLE_EXTRACT_BASE_DIR’, its just that its being inherited from the system and ends up tacked on to the filepath of where the installer executable is.
I think I need to locally clear the env var in the WINE prefix, but I am unsure how.
You be able to just delete the prefix folder and start over. Maybe run
echo $GAMEDIRin terminal afterwards to make sure that the GAMEDIR Environment Variable was erased as well.
