Wow, thats crazy... ok lets start over.

Don't delete Oblivion yet.
Go to /home/login/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/oblivion-goty/drive_c/program files/steam/steamapps/common
Drag-n-drop the Oblivion folder to your desktop.  This way you don't have to download it again.

I recommend you do a manual installation
Download Windows Steam first, then follow the Steam guide:  Steam Games

Once you can launch Steam the first time drag-n-drop the Oblivion folder on your desktop to the new virtual drive .../steamapps/common folder

Then click "Install" on Oblivion.  It will automatically discover files and then update if necessary.
Now launch again and see what happens.

There are a couple other things we can do in PlayOnLinux, but I want to make sure you get this far.

Oh, I thought you wrote "Steam" in one of the posts.
Ok nevermind.
Lets start over with a manual installation via this guide: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

That guide is for Goty=Game of year edition?
I do not have tha version, but have Oblivion, on other dvd have knights of nine and on other Shivering isles... Can i also use your tutorial on your link?
You are talking about new installation? Why your 1.3 wine version first and why you do not using scripts but manual non listed program option? I mean why scripts are even there if we do not using them and if is better using non listed  program option...

Can someone answer me is it a bad way of install wine from Ubuntu Sof.Cen. and not under POL...If before that POL is installed. I think that maybe that is reason of multiple Oblivion lanchers ...

Sorry, wasn't online last night.
Ok
It should still work for Vanilla Oblivion.  Just try the guide and see if it works for you.
I never tried Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles in Linux, but I'm sure they will work fine once the game runs.

I would have to try installing Oblivion again with modern Wine versions.  That guide is kinda old and the Securom DRM had problems with other versions of Wine.  But 1.3 seemed to work pretty good.

There is no hard in trying newer  1.6.2 or 1.7.13 versions of Wine.  But if you start getting securom errors or crypt32.dll errors, then back to 1.3 again.
Sad, but sometimes we have no other choice.

I don't use scripts because I found that most of my games don't have scripts and a lot of the scripts I have tried either don't work or are not updated.
