I have PlayOnLinux on Mint 19. When I go to install a program manually, the wizard's first step is to create a new virtual drive. I choose another Wine version (2.6, required by Fantasy Grounds), which I've already installed. Next it says to wait a bit for POL/Wine to create the new drive, but it just hangs there without anything happening for several minutes.
Any idea what could be the issue?

Re: Virtual drive installation hangs in Wine
Did you ever get this figured out? I see no one responded to this. I am having the same issue right now (Mint 20) and am not sure what to do.

Re: Virtual drive installation hangs in Wine
Hi. I don't do much with gaming or playonlinux. I have successfully installed one game - went with all default settings - and it worked. It did hang on me during install once or twice, but I just started it over and it worked ok. I do know there are many things that can go wrong there so I try to avoid itI am having the same issue right now (Mint 20) and am not sure what to do
Re: Virtual drive installation hangs in Wine
I'm afraid not. If you're looking to get FG to work, there's a thread on their forums which has a working solution. Other option is to wait for FGU as that will be natively in Linux. It's in beta, but might work.
