Console output 9.7 (non-staging)

Dear wine-team,

I am running a Slackware 15.0 box with

bash-5.1$ wine --version
wine-9.7

Here are the steps I went through:

bash-5.1$ mkdir WineApps/Steam
bash-5.1$ export WINEPREFIX=/home/mwagner/WineApps/Steam/
bash-5.1$ winetricks steam 2&>/home/mwagner/Desktop/SteamConsoleOutput.txt

I originally thought that this has been an issue with winetricks but they
confirmed the issue and said is wasn't related to their script.
