Automates the complete working solution for SWBF2 (AppID 1237950) on Wolf:
1. Extracts EA Desktop from ea_app.msi using msiextract on the host,
bypassing JunoConfigureRegistry Wine incompatibility that causes MSI rollback
2. Copies EA Desktop files (Link2EA.exe, EALocalHostSvc.exe, etc.) into the
Wine prefix at the versioned path with symlink
3. Writes link2ea_fix.reg and ea_services.reg into drive_c so they persist
across Wine prefix operations
4. Installs a launch wrapper (/home/retro/ea_install.sh) that runs regedit
via Steam's sniper+GE-Proton launch chain — required because direct edits
to system.reg are overwritten when wineserver flushes on shutdown
5. Sets LaunchOptions for AppID 1237950 in localconfig.vdf and locks the
config directory (chmod 555) to prevent Steam overwriting it via
atomic rename on shutdown
Run after: Steam open in Moonlight, GE-Proton set, SWBF2 launched once
(triggers Wine prefix + ea_app.msi creation), EA account linked at ea.com.
