I have tried to install Picasa 3.9 on my Linux box using both the default download and a local copy that installs fine on Win10. I have also tried both the 'overwrite' and 'erase' options.
Problem - crash on install
Messages - Error in POL_Wine ; Error in POL_System_find_file drive_C folder_not _exist
Logfile showing two attempts to install
