Hello, I keep getting this message when I start up POL;

 

PlayOnLinux cannot find wine (from Wine)

You should install it to use PlayOnLinux

 

I can play Skyrim just fine and if I go to my manage wine versions 1.7.11 is installed. So why do I keep getting this message and how do I make it go away? Last time I used POL on my other computer I never got this message. I am also running the latest POL 4.2.5.

You must not have Wine installed on your actuall system. You should have Wine installed via your distros' package manager. POL versions of Wine are separate from the system Wine, but the system one should still be installed.

is looking for /usr/bin/wine, this is common too on Slackware, if you use package manager to install wine, the installed binary executable file is /usr/bin/wine64 , and playonlinux is not looking for that file.

you should use the follow command on a terminal

su -c "ln -s /usr/bin/wine64 /usr/bin/wine" root
 

Just ignore "Ronin DUSETTE" says, because cleary not have idea whats is talking about, because not every distro solve this small details. and on some distros the user should solve by own hand

It appears that Wine is not installed on your system. It's recommended to install Wine through your distribution's package manager. Keep in mind that the Wine version provided by PlayOnLinux (POL) is separate from the system Wine, but it's still advisable to have the system version installed.

It seems like Wine is not installed on your current system. You should install Wine through your distribution's package manager. While versions of Wine within PlayOnLinux (POL) are separate, it's still advisable to have the system's Wine installed.
