Recently I bought 'Deliver us the moon' and 'Severed steel' from GOG, thinking it might work because both games supported directx11 and protondb.com said they run well at least in Proton.
When i tried to install them using crossover 21.1, GOG's offline installer said installation is complete, however when i tried to run the game, the error message said that I need to install Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime and asked to install them. When I choose 'yes' and try to install those components, It fails and shows error saying it failed to setup UE4 prerequsites. Error code is 0x80070538 - invalid ACL.
Both game showed exactly same issue. Is this a known issue? Any solutions?
I tried diffent bottles and even install bunch of microsoft Visual c++ runtime versions using installers provided by crossover before installing the game, but it still shows the error.
This is a log provided by UE4 prerequsites installer
