I am using Ubuntu 19.04. I tried the simplest route too by unchecking "use another version of wine", configure wine", and "install some libraries" then I get this:
[07/12/19 18:39:29] - Running wine- --version (Working directory : /usr/share/playonlinux/python)
wine-4.0 (Ubuntu 4.0-1)
it looks like wine32 is missing, you should install it.
as root, please execute "apt-get install wine32"

[07/12/19 18:39:30] - This is a 32bits prefix!

it looks like wine32 is missing, you should install it.
as root, please execute "apt-get install wine32"
wine: '/home/nihilus/.PlayOnLinux//wineprefix/AVP2' is a 32-bit installation, it cannot support 64-bit applications.
I tried to install wine32 like the report said but I get this:
"Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
wine32:i386 : Depends: libwine:i386 (= 4.0-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages."
I apologize if this is an easily fixable error, but this is my first go at using linux and as such I am definitely a beginner.
