I try to install and use Ableton 9.6. with PlayOnLinux, and even as the installation went smooth, every time I try to start it, it crashes and shows the following error:
Error in main. Ableton 9 Suite is crashed.Here's some information from the log when trying to run it:

Looks like you are missing a few required support libraries, a quick google search suggests they are from VCRuntime2013. You could try:
Open the configurator for your Ableton installation in PlayOnLinux, go to the "installed components", and install the vcrun2013 component.
Disclaimer: This might actually completely wreck the virtual drive you created for your Ableton installation and require you to start from scratch, but since it isn't working anyway, I guess it's worth a shot.
