Hello folks,

unfortunately I couldn't find old Playon 3.0.11 version this bug was created
with. Using the oldest version available:

https://web.archive.org/web/20210116064434/https://www.afterdawn.com/softwar...

-> PlayOn 3.3.4

Created stable download link via Internet Archive:

Initially the bug has been recycled for multiple Wine-Mono issues though.

Anyway, last issue which is still present ...

Wine 1.9.12 -> Wine-Mono 4.6.3

--- snip ---
$ wine ./PlayOnSetup.3.3.4.exe
...

$ sha1sum PlayOnSetup.3.3.4.exe
