Unable to install GOG setup file

[CaptainHilts]

Hey all. When I go to install the GOG exe, Wine is unable to continue, it varies between saying that I need .NET or that something went wrong.
I've been going through some of the dotnet dll's but they uninstall mono and then say that they can't find mono.

Here is the output in terminal when I try to run the exe. Does anyone have an idea what I should be doing here?

WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.local/share/wineprefixes/snafu" wine GOG_Galaxy_System_Shock_2.exe

According to the AppDB GOG Galaxy have some issues with Wine but there are some workarounds [1]
Did you use Wine Staging and the symlink $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/ProgramData to $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/users/Public before installing?

The game itself should run out of the box. [2] Is it possible to run System Shock 2 without GOG Galaxy? [3]

From GOG.com:
GOG Galaxy is fully optional because you don’t need it to play games on GOG.com. If you want to, you can simply download your game via your browser, install it manually, and launch it offline, just like we've always done it on GOG.com. If you decide to use GOG Galaxy for some aspects of the convenience, you can still switch to offline mode at whim and play your games. Optional also means that all features in GOG Galaxy can be turned off. Not a fan of achievements or auto-updates? No problem, they're extras.

I installed the game no problem without GOG Galaxy. Thanks for pointing this out.
