PlayOnLinux displays weird looking window on 18.04 for MS Office installation
Kewal Shah
PlayOnLinux used to work just fine with 16.04. After upgrading to 18.04 I cannot install MS office from it. After I select the setup and click on install this window pops up:
For approximately 3 seconds it shows this image
And then suddenly the image disappears and the window looks like this
When I try installing the software without PlayOnLinux using wine setup.exe I get the proper window look:
But eventually installation fails and I get this message:
Am I missing some essential package/software for rendering the graphics in PlayOnLinux?
This does not allow me to install MS Office using any method, I'm stuck.
Please do not suggest using LibreOffice or Virtual Box. I know both are great alternatives but I would appreciate a solution for this specific problem

This might be a bug in the MS Office install script or particular wine version / used library.
You can have a workaround: After you created a drive go to options with highlighted virtual drive and hit Open a shell button.
From that shell window run wine setup.exe and see if your window renders correctly.
PlayOnLinux downloads and uses an older wine version for its Word 2010 setup by default and your system may have a different wine version which can cause the graphics to load incorrectly, try to change it in the settings of your virtual drive in PlayOnLinux from configure -> Office2010 -> General -> Wine version
