Im a first time playonlinux user. I have wine 2.0 installed on my system but i couldnt install a particular game through it .I decided to try play on linux since it had the scripts to install it . It installed wine 1.4 and a few other packages but when it came to 'creating virtual drive' , things seemed to get stuck. Playonlinux was not taking up any cpu resources or network yet this part would never finish. I repeated this stage multiple times but to no avail.

I also have a ~/.wine folder that acts as a drive for wine 2.0 which is independent from playon linux. Could this be the reason for it getting stuck?

 

here is the message from logs:
