The installer downloads the file from itchio (a self-extracing exe) and launches it. However, after the extraction step, the game doesn’t launch.
I think the game’s files are somehow “lost” during the installation process. During the extraction step, a dialog appears.
I simply press OK. It looks like a temporary directory that Lutris works in. The error I get is this:
This game has no executable set. The install process didn't finish properly.
