then on next screen you should see the "4.0.4" (if not, do "TIP #1" above first!). so from the 'PlayOnLinux Configuration' window it will probably have 'default' highlighted already, click 'New' then click next etc and you will see 'What kind of virtual drive to you want to create' screen and I select '64 bits windows installation'.

TIP #2: while you can probably install ImgBurn using PlayOnLinux's "Install a program" from it's main menu, I typically do everything I need to from the 'Configure' window from the main PlayOnLinux menu. "Tools > Manage Wine Versions > Wine versions (amd64)" then scroll down to "4.0.4", left click it so it's highlighted, then click the ">" and it will download Wine v4.0.4 etc. TIP #1: for installing Wine v4.0.4 in PlayOnLinux. after those six steps are done issue 'sudo apt install wine-desktop-files' which gives you the proper Wine entries on the Mint menu) and something gets out of whack, it won't effect your PlayOnLinux setup with ImgBurn since it's running in it's own what I think is referred to as a 'wine prefix', or 'virtual drive' one could say which people are probably a bit more familiar with that term. so even if your using the standard Wine installation (i.e. NOTE: PlayOnLinux is separate from your standard system Wine installation. PlayOnLinux does not need to be running for ImgBurn to work (although you run PlayOnLinux during initial setup/configuration of ImgBurn) as it's easiest to simply load ImgBurn from the desktop icon it creates as at this point it's works just like it does on Windows (as I was recently playing with ImgBurn and overburning a standard audio CD on a CD-RW disc etc and it worked). Once your done you can simply load ImgBurn from the shortcut it creates on the desktop, or from within the PlayOnLinux program itself. NOTE: for more details on setup/configuration see "TIP #1" and "TIP #2" etc below!

NOTE: everything is configured here through a GUI (graphic user interface) with the exception of the initial 'sudo apt install playonlinux' command from the terminal, which should be easier for novices (and not to mention people like clicking stuff instead of typing ).

install PlayOnLinux (sudo apt install playonlinux), then through PlayOnLinux install Wine v4.0.4 (I use 64bit (amd64)), configure Wine so it's using Windows XP mode, then ImgBurn will work as expected (and detect your CD/DVD drives with it's default ASPI mode). I am running Linux Mint v20.x and I figured I would make a account here to post this info since it will likely be of big help for someone wanting to run ImgBurn here in March 2022 on a Linux system (and will likely continue to work into the future to, especially assuming PlayOnLinux continues to work with future versions of Linux Mint).
