i am installing some Windows Games i bought from GOG on my Steam Deck. I do this by Desktop Mode and adding the installers through steam foreign game and setting proton. This works great so far...
The only problem i have is with addons for games e.g. i try to install Kingdom - Two Crowns, i have two executables, one for the main game and one for an addon
setup_kingdom_two_crowns_1.1.16_r17150_(55285).exe
setup_kingdom_two_crowns_norse_lands_1.1.16_r17150_(55285).exe
Installing the game is no problem, but when i try to install the addon it says it cannot find the main game. As far as i understand the problem is that Proton sets for each install a seperate prefix, so the addon cannot see the prefix of the main game
Is there some command line command or anything else i can use to install addons to the already existing game?

Yeah, that's sort of a cheating way. I'm interested in open source support for the hardware.

yes i solved the problem.
The Prefix is set in the steam property settings of the game -> Shortcut -> Start In
this needs to be the same for the dlc as for the main game
