I installed NFS underground with play on linux.At the program's main page there is a label "Need For Speed Underground" which is selected.I click run and wait.Nothing happens.Then i run on terminal:

/usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux --run "Need For Speed Underground"

but i get the message:

wine: cannot find ''

What is wrong?

Well.. Here's a link to the script: http://www.playonlinux.com/repository/?script=396

Looks like wine1.3 is available here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wine/files/Source/wine-1.3.11.tar.bz2/download

Something you can do is run playonlinux from the command line, and maybe you can see an error (or where the error occurs) there.

When I was having problems before, it's because the POL site wasn't responding for a few days.

I would like to suggest you, using of Virtual Box instead of wine. In my opinion, that is most harmonized with Ubuntu or Linux generally rather than Wine.

Up to you, this just an opinion. Good-Lock
