Protontricks gui - error installing component

[BigBadBeef]

I am trying to install the ms media foundation using the Protontricks gui, and I get this error message. What does it mean?

Your error - windows6.1-KB976932-x86.exe has returned status1 - is service pack 1 for Windows 7 and cannot be installed with your current system and service pack 1 for Windows 7 x86 is no longer available

Okay, so what does that have to do with me trying to install the Microsoft Media Foundation?

 

[Lord Boltar]

Starting in Windows 7, certain Media Foundation functions are exported from different DLL files than previous versions.
These changes affect the following .lib files:
evr.lib - mf.lib - mfplat.lib
An application that uses any of these functions must link to a different set of .lib files, depending on the SDK version and the target platform. Which these are found in service pack one

So the guide directs towards github and implies I have to create a wine prefix?

Pretty much

mf-install​

Easily add Media Foundation support to a Wine prefix. Just set WINEPREFIX to a valid Wine prefix and run.

Example usage:

WINEPREFIX="/home/user/wine prefixes can be anywhere/folder" ./mf-install.sh

Steam stores Proton Wine prefixes as <STEAM FOLDER>/steamapps/compatdata/<GAME ID>/pfx
