Using Wine or Windows App Support to run a Windows program

Hi all, I'm trying to see if a Windows app (Chitubox, used for 3D-printing) can work on Zorin.
I've downloaded the windows .exe and tried to run it through either Wine or Windows app support but I seem unable to properly install either of these two programs from the software center:

  • Wine: the installer ran for a while (showing 'installing...') and eventually went back to 'Install' without having installed anything.
  • Windows App Support: it looks like it is installed (shows as 'Uninstall' in the Software center) but when I right-click on my .exe and tell it 'open with Windows install application) it shows the following:

    which then links to the Software center page for the app which says that it is already installed:

I had a look at this page which wasn't helpful... Any suggestions on either how to properly install Wine or Windows App Support, or run my Chitubox program some other way?

Hmm, wondering if these problems are related to the Ubuntu DDOS situation, maybe I'll wait a few days and try to install again.
