Related to this question, I have Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS. I downloaded PlayOnLinux 4.1.9 (the Precise version) and used it to install Microsoft Office 2010 Pro. PlayOnLinux downloaded Wine 1.5.21 and whatever else it needed to install office. I did a customized installation and it seems to work fine. The only issue is now that I can't quite get file associations to work correctly. So for example, if I have a .docx document, I want to be able to just double click it and have it open with Microsoft Word. When I try to do that I get an error saying "IOPL not enabled" and the document never opens. I googled it and everyone said to open up wine configuration, go to libraries, add gdiplus and edit it to "Native (Windows)" but this still hasn't fixed the problem. I have no idea what this is or how it is supposed to work but can someone who does, please help. Currently I have to start Word and then use it to open up the document. That works fine.

This is done by creating a small script and then associating it with that file type via 'Open with '. This is available in most desktop environments by rightclicking on one .docx file for example and using the upcoming menu.
Examples and details on how to create such a script can be found in the ubuntu documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine#Creating_file_associations

That script won't work with software installed using PlayOnLinux, since PoL does not use the default wine prefix (it actually does not even use the default wine executable, it downloads and configures a whole new wine for each app).

It is also a useless script for "vanilla" wine, since wine already creates.desktopfile associations for all files registered by an installed windows software, so.docxwould already be in the "Open with" list of any desktop environments that follow the freedesktop standard file association

In my case it created a scrip file for every file type that each particular office program handles. So for example there is one for Word to open .doc and .docx . It was quite nice of PoL to do this however when using the open with menu there are a dozen or so different entries for each office aplication yet they only have the title of the main program but not the extension that is directly asociated.
