OS: **GNU/Linux** , flatpak runtime, Proton 10

When trying to install anything, I get the error: Win32Exception (87): Invalid parameter.

```

After _some_ debugging, i found that procgov calls a function that’s incorrectly implemented in wine-win32.

7z extracts just fine.  
And if procgov is not found, Navigraph Hub will invoke 7za.exe directly, so the workaround is simply install Navigraph Hub then delete `/steamapps/compatdata/1250410/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/Programs/navigraph-hub/resources/assets/bin/procgov.exe`, then install won’t fail anymore.

Hi,  
Thank you for your input …

Just a side note and clarification: we currently don’t support such installations on Linux systems, and we don’t recommend it.

Cheers  
Richard
