While good, this is only really useful in one very niche situation: You previously installed RCT2 (and maybe also RCT1) through Wine and you're just now wanting to upgrade to OpenRCT2.

If you just want to play OpenRCT2, there are much easier ways. The game files don't have to be installed in order for OpenRCT2 to use them. Just tell OpenRCT2 where the installer files or CD or CD image are, and it will handle it. No need to get Wine involved. (OpenRCT2 has a native Linux version.)

Is this not mostly for steam installs?
