I am using Play On Linux 4.3.4 on Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial), my hardware will not go to Ubuntu 18 unfortunately :(
I seem to be having issues installing vcrun2008 on to any virtual drive, both on drives I create and on any that are created using install scripts. Any wise words of wisdom and help would be very much appreciated at this stage ;)
When I try to install manually, or when a script invokes the install command, the box pops up saying please wait while it is being installed and then it sits there until I click cancel. I am relatively new to Linux but I am slowly getting my head around it, so if I am missing anything pease forgive me and point me in the right direction.
Regarding the install I found this in the Virtual Drive log (in this instance I was trying the Assassins Creed 2 install script):

I checked the link to the vcredist_x86 file and it is still active.
Am I missing a driver or a library here, I am not understanding what the log is telling me.
Your help would be much appreciated :)
