          The simplest solution probably is to install Playonlinux (https://www.playonlinux.com/en/)



          Playonlinux installs application in it's own virtual drive where you can set which version of wine you want to use for that application (and easily change it if needed).

            Wine is NOT the sort of application where problems are solved by seeking OLDER versions. I am also unclear what you mean by "app market". Please take my advice:




            1. Open Ubuntu Software Center

            2. Type wine in the search bar of that center and select "uninstall"

            3. Type winetricks in the search bar of that center and select install

            4. When that has completed also install play on linux (another user recommended this as well and I upvoted it. It's good software and often necessary)

            5. Exit the software center

            6. Open winetricks which will automatically update it further, and may be time consuming

            7. Possibly reboot pc

            8. As much as possibly always try winetricks first and then play on linux to install anything. Only try installing without the help they provide if or when they do not offer assistance.
