I have installed Solar 2 Demo. If I try to run it from Steam client, it outputs the following on the console:

Running Steam on debian 7.0 32-bit

Then it switches to 'Store -> Solar2' page.

If I navigate to Solar 2 demo folder and run ./solar2.sh from console, everything works w/o troubles.

Works on Ubuntu 12.04. Since you are running Debian, it may be unmet dependencies. We will try running it on Debian to see what the issue is.

I'm especially conspicious about "installscript" and checking for Wine.

Does this work for you now @lumag, a change for Solar 2 Demo was pushed that should fix this.
