Installation worked.

Note : in the script I replaced Wine version "1.7.46-staging" with "4.0" and "2.22", and after the installation of DVD1, Wine crashed. then I was asked the DVD2 but it was not read. The game did install in English (as I wanted) but had none music nor voices.

(OS ubuntu 18.04, POL v4.3.4, media: retail game on 2 DVD-ROMs)
My log: https://pastebin.com/wZKxfYkV

A issue #2 I have (with Wine 2.22), the game did install fine, but there is no sound nor music, perhaps I should reinstall with winealsa disabled in the script.

The installation halts right after the steam client is installed (when the client is run for installing the game).
