I made (2010) a PlayOnLinux script for Roblox.

It took a lot longer than I thought to make it, but now it works!

Since both the Gecko browser and the IE6 browser mess up in Roblox, the app asks you for a usrename, password, and place id as a work around. It does not use the POL_SetupWindow_make_shortcut function.

I see this script was coded six years ago. Anyone have luck with this now (2016)? What version of wine should be used in POL for Roblox?

Obviously no longer usable 9 years later. 

And the so-called "support" droids at Roblox think it will still work under Wine.  Well, no problem.  Next time I have to re-install my daughter's computer, it won't get a MSWin partition.  SO no more Roblox.  No loss.

2019, test reports (even with Wine 4.21) are very bad on appdb.winehq.org .
