Cannot install windows app support

Hi Forum

I just did a clean install of Zorin 18.1 Pro (the upgrade from 17.3 corrupted the boot partition). I chose the minimal option to install the basic utilities and apps. Windows App Support, Wine etc were not part of it.

Unfortunately I cannot install Windows App Support which I need for one windows app. I followed the instructions in the following but no luck:

I get similar errors/issues as in the post but I do not want to reinstall Zorin as it took me a full day to recreate my PC environment.

Here is the result from trying to install it from the terminal because it would not install from the App Store:

My software Repo is pointing to the Main Server - I get the same error as the user CudlyPup reported after changing the server.

My PC with the issue is a generic AMD Ryzen 3 and not a Surface/Surface Pro (although I have a Surface Pro with 17.3 Pro that works flawlessly).

Any suggestions for a fix is greatly appreciated.

At the moment there are problems with launchpadcontent (server problems). Please try it later or tomorrow again. It can take a few days until all problems are solved.
