Thanks for the warning.

Now, I'm by no means tech support, since I don't even have the CD 
version installed (still waiting for discs)
but did you specify |--from-install --media 
'/path/to/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Steam/steamapps/common/prey/base' 
as instructed by the installer page?
Also, is direct2drive.com the same as steam or something else? because 
the installer page does not mention it being supported.
