My PlayOnLinux script collection

Overview

This repository contains some of the applications that I wanted to run on my (beautiful, gorgeous, amazing) Linux box. They're organized following the official Play On Linux software categories, except tests folder.

Scripts state as of 8 January 2019:

PlayOnLinux software category	Script	Application	Status	Notes
Development	enterprise_architect	Enterprise Architect	untested
	markdown_monster	Markdown Monster	fails	- requires at least .NET 4.6.2 (it's a WPF app) and I'm not confident that it installs properly.
				- the app errors at startup because it cannot find some path.
Graphics	balsamiq_mockups	Balsamiq Mockups 3	works	- see https://www.playonlinux.com/en/topic-16110-Script_Balsamiq_Mockups.html
Office	edraw_project	Edraw Project	fails	- requires native VC++ 2015 redist
Functions	POL_install_7zip	7-zip v18.05	works	- kind of useless since the lib. has native version for linux.
	POL_install_dotnet462	.NET 4.6.2	fails	- .NET 3.5 installation enters infinite loop, see https://www.playonlinux.com/en/app-822-POL_Install_dotnet35.html
				- during install it complains about mscorsvw.exe
	POL_install_dotnet471	.NET 4.7.1	fails	- similar as for .NET 4.6.2
	POL_install_IE11	Internet Explorer 11	untested
	POL_install_vcrun2015	Visual C++ Redist. 2015	fails	- the installer does not run; files need to be extracted and placed manually

The scripts from tests folder are just a wrapper over the content of some of the functions so they can be tested locally by importing the test script into PlayOnLinux.
