If it uses .dll files, it's a version designed to run under Windows. It won't install in Linux. There are Linux versions of Steam but this doesn't seem to be one of them.

As to why it wouldn't work in Windows 10, you'd be better off asking that question in a Windows gaming forum, not in this one. A lot of us here haven't used Windows for years.

No offence, but do you know where you are?
