I'm attempting to follow these instructions for installing Overwatch on Ubuntu 16.04.
The only difference is instead of installing to my home drive (which is networked), I'm installing to a local /shared/$USER/
which I have permissions on. ($USER variable wasn't working so I had to use the username directly)
When I get to the install step, by running:
WINEPREFIX='/home/myuser/.overwatch' WINE='/shared/myuser/wine-overwatch/bin/wine64' /shared/myuser/wine-overwatch/bin/wine64 /shared/myuser/Downloads/Overwatch-Setup.exe
I get the installer popping up with this error:
Something went wrong trying to create a directory
("C:/ProgramData/Battle.new/Agent"). Please ensure you have permission
to create the directory and try again.
Where is this directory so I can check permissions?
Here are the permissions on /shared/myuser
:/shared/myuser$ ls -al
total 6152596
drwxr-xr-x 7 myuser 10043 4096 Dec 5 13:28 .
drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 4096 Dec 5 13:25 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 myuser 10043 3949552 Dec 5 13:25 Overwatch-Setup.exe
drwxr-xr-x 13 myuser 10043 4096 Jun 28 09:41 .PlayOnLinux

In Wine, C:
translates by default to drive_c
in the Wine prefix, so C:/ProgramData/Battle.new/Agent
is /home/myuser/.overwatch/drive_c/ProgramData/Battle.new/Agent
.
