mainwindow.py crashed with IOError in SetSettings(): [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/username/.PlayOnLinux//playonlinux.cfg'

This crash occured as soon as I tried to run PlayonLinux immediately after installing it. I closed the start up wizard and it crashed.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

The bug should be fixed in PlayOnLinux 4.0.16 (beta for the moment)

Don't hesitate to try it and tell us if it's fixed your problem

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Can't quit correctly - this bug appears

Couldn't close without bug appearing. Around line 60 in the playonelinux.py file there's a line like " '/.PlayOnLinux/' + prefix + '/playonlinux.cfg' " which seemed to have caused it. Fixed it by removing the 'prefix' and a slash. Though I'm unsure if this will have any negative effects XD
