anubis@linux-pc:~> /usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux --run "Notepad++"

PlayOnLinux v2.0
----------------
Checking python : [ Ok ]
Notepad++: line 4: cd: /home/anubis/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/NotepadPlusPlus//drive_c/Program Files/Notepad++: No such file or directory
wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\
otepad++.exe": Module not found


that's normal because the path is NOT

/home/anubis/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/NotepadPlusPlus//drive_c/Program Files/Notepad++

but

/home/anubis/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/NotepadPlusPlus/drive_c/Programmi/Notepad++

anubis@linux-pc:~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/NotepadPlusPlus/drive_c> ls
Programmi windows
anubis@linux-pc:~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/NotepadPlusPlus/drive_c> cd Programmi
anubis@linux-pc:~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/NotepadPlusPlus/drive_c/Programmi> ls
Common Files Internet Explorer Notepad++
anubis@linux-pc:~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/NotepadPlusPlus/drive_c/Programmi> cd Notepad++

I think you have to edit the script launching notepad++ ( $HOME/.PlayOnLinux/configurations/installed/Notepad++ )


You have just to change the direction of the directory opened
cd "/home/user/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/NotepadPlusPlus//drive_c/Program Files/Notepad++"
become:
cd "/home/user/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/NotepadPlusPlus//drive_c/Programmi/Notepad++"

I think it is because you have an Italien version of wine. In french or in english, it is "Program Files"

By the way, why are there two slashes between "NotepadPlusPlus" and "drive_c"?

I have this same problem, because Wine respects my systems locale settings and playonlinux does not. This prevents the launcher from working, and also breaks some install scripts.

PlayOnLinux really needs a way to specify paths like "Program Files" and "Application Data" (on my computer, the names are "Programfiler" and "Fellesfiler".

I suggest that you scrape the system.reg file in a shell file that gets .source'd by all install scripts:
PROGRAMFILES="drive_c$(grep -e \"ProgramFiles\" system.reg|tr -d \"|tr = /|cut -d/ -f2 -|cut -d: -f2)"

This will give a relative path like "drive_c\\Program Files"

I second that: "I think you have to edit the script launching notepad++ ( $HOME/.PlayOnLinux/configurations/installed/Notepad++ ) "

VeauX, you should try the same thing.

Go to $HOME/.PlayOnLinux/configurations/installed/ folder and edit your scripts (i.e. change Program files to Archivos de programa).

SOLVED
Any questions, PM me.

No issue I did that and it worked like a charm. Just mentioning this as a bug because it should simply not happen... doing it each time I install somehting new is not the solution of that bug, just a countermeasure. The root cause is not solved.
