Magic the Gathering: Arena

I could not pass the registering screen. I get the "Fatal error in gc, GetThreadContext failed" crash. Perhaps Wine v4.21 will help.

+#   First script.
+#   As of today, the .EXE installer is unable to run with Wine (crash after clicking 'Finish').
+#
+# KNOWN ISSUES:
+#  - Wine amd64 4.0.2: 'Invalid command line' while running the .EXE installer. Cause: POL_Call POL_Install_RegisterFonts ?
+#  - Wine amd64/x86 4.0.2: Text of the .EXE installer are not displayed until the mouse cursor move over. Tried to install many Fonts functions of POL.
+#  - Wine amd64 4.0.2: Went up to the registry screen, but I had a crash. This is why I switch to a higher Wine version.
+#
+# Ideas to improve this script: select archive, then decide if extension is RAR or ZIP or 7Z...

It does stop during Wine installing Gecko package becoming stuck, if it goes on further it gets stuck without starting the setup.exe choosed.

Done a test with lastes PlayOnLinux version 4.3.4 and Wine 2.22 (amd64).
