Hello. I’m trying to install Real Drone Simulator. below is the download link :
https://www.realdronesimulator.com/downloads
the download file contains 3 * bin file, 1 * exe file.
I selected “Install a Windows game from an executable” option for install.
However, I encountered this error message :
I suspect this issue because installation file contains bin file additional to exe file, because I installed 10+ games with wines and lutris. How can I resolve this issues?
As long as the .BIN files are with the EXE, it should be able to pick them up. I’ve installed this with wine-staging (~9.21), and even then I had to use /SILENT to bypass some installer glitches.
It might be the 8-26 runner is even less compatible.
List of steps
export WINEPREFIX=/games/lutris/rdsinstall && export WINEARCH=win64 && mkdir /games/lutris/rdsinstall
wine wineboot
unzip ~/Downloads/RDS_Setup_v0.8.2.0.zip -d $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/
wine $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/RDS_Setup_v0.8.2.0/RDS_Setup_v0.8.2.0.exe /SILENT /ALLUSERS
…then add as existing game in Lutris, select the WINE runner of your choice and launch. Happy flying 
Edit: Sorry - obviously please adjust paths for source ZIP file and destination install
Edit2: Lutris YAML installer below. Obvs this will break whenever RDS updates their download, but that’s forward thinking for you…
