After not having installed anything in POL for a few months (September), I'm now finding that I can't install anything, or run installers through "Run a .exe file in this virtual drive". This includes an installer that worked fine in September. But already-installed software runs fine.
Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
PlayOnLinux 4.2.12
Console messages when simply starting up POL:

When a previously-functional installer is run using "Run a .exe file in this virtual drive" from a virtual drive that runs the (already-installed) software just fine:

Would someone who knows more than I about POL please give me a hint as to what to try, or what might be going wrong?
