I have a game(visual novel) which requires Windows Media Format Runtime for Windows XP/Vista for playing ingame cutscenes.

Any tips on how to install them and run the game on steam?

The easy way is to install Proton-GE

You could also look up mfplat with winetricks/protontricks, but GE typically works and is much simpler.

Using WINE or Proton should work then you can use winetricks or protontricks to install the specific component you need if the game doesn't already install it.

Thanks,installed wmf11 using winetricks and the game now shows the cutscences instead of a blank screen
