Lutris

You can choose to use an existing Lutris installer but in order to have more control over the installation you should choose to install a game fresh from a Windows executable. One nice feature of Lutris is its capability to run custom install scripts which can be used to automate the otherwise sometimes tedious install process. To do this click on Add Game in the top right corner and select Install from a local install script. Custom Lutris scripts for installing various versions of both games can be found below.

For a manual game installation you will need to consider a few things.

Install DLLs

In order to install wine dependencies you need to open up winetricks within the wine prefix. When you select an installed game that runs with wine you can click on the wine menu (arrow symbol next to the wine glass button) and select Winetricks. Then you need to select Select the default wineprefix and in the next menu ´Install a Windows DLL or component´

This can also be done from the command line like so (which necessitates winetricks being installed):

  WINEPREFIX=/path/to/prefix winetricks

DLL Overrides

DLL overrides can be added in two places. In the game settings (after you right-click a game and select Configure) in the Runner options tab. Scroll to DLL overrides and click on Add. The values follow the syntax of n,b for native, then builtin and vice versa accordingly.

The second place you can do this is when selecting Wine configuration from the wine menu (see above how to open winetricks). Select the Libraries tab and in the field New override for library enter or choose the appropriate value. After clicking Add you can then select Edit to select the value you need.
