Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Just noticed, seems odd that it's downloading the msi but trying run an exe. Not sure it that's related.

There's a problem with your setup, it seems you've changed the path where Bottles are created to a place the app doesn't have permission to access (that "Games" folder). You should use Flatseal to give Bottles permission to access the folder where you created the bottle.

I having the same issue and tried to manually install depepncy and it fails. I think the main problem is why installing on the bottle after it creates it. I did give permission to ~/Games and still fails
