Description
Proton Beta can't install itself. When I run game using Proton Beta nothing happens. In error.log I see "Proton 3.7 Beta: Permission denied". Also in Proton Beta directory I see no catalogue dist, because file proton_dist.tar.gz was not extracted.
The same problem was with Beta 3.7-4. Now with 3.7-5

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with Proton Beta 3.7-5 and inspect error.log and the Proton Beta directory. Check how proton_dist.tar.gz is handled during installation. Done means the archive is extracted into the expected catalogue dist directory and launching a game no longer reports “Proton 3.7 Beta: Permission denied”.
