Running Steam (testing porting kit PR)
I am trying to test this https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/pull/2787 and I think I am misunderstanding the instructions. What I am trying to do is add "Steam" as an application to the Heroic launcher so I can run games through it. Is this not what I am supposed to do? (I am unable to add steam as an application.)

What I do step by step is
1. ADD GAME
2. Set Title to Steam
3. Click on "RUN INSTALLER FIRST" and select the SteamSetup.exe file I downloaded from Steam. At this point nothing happens. So I'm assuming I have to select an executable for "Select Executable"
4. Select SteamSetup.exe for "Select Executable".
5. Try step 3 again
6. Click Finish (at this point nothing happens after the load, the modal is closed)
7. Click play. Nothing happens
I also tried selecting an installed steam.exe from an existing bottle I created with the gameportingtoolkit. I also set the prefix to this bottle's path. When I click on play nothing happens

my friend tried this (but without heroic) and it didn't work for him either
it's safe to say that it's the game porting toolkit's problem
they are running something based on wine 7.7 which is more than a year old
which is probably where the issue comes from
