In NixOS you need to patch binaries with patchelf. If this bundles WINE you can try changing its script to use system WINE instead.
- Thanks for your anwser. Would you mind going in a bit more detail im relatifly new to nix.
The easiest way to solve this kind of issue on Nixos is to add
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [ steam-run ];
to your configuration.nix, rebuild your system and then run the binary with steam-run, like steam-run linuxrulzgame
- steam-run
  wow omg did not excpect that to work but the installer did indeed pop up. Thank you very much!!!
- Hmm the installer pops up but when im trying to install it instantly says "Installation canceld" it has write access to the selected folder.
