Windows App Support doesn't install

General Help

I'm trying to install Windows App Support on my PC. And it doesn't install at all. It requires Wine and PlayOnLinux. And both of them also have unmet dependencies with sometimes nonexistent packages. How can I solve this problem. The same is with almost all software. I'm using Zorin OS Lite 16.2 x64

If you haven't already done so change the sources from your country server to Main Server in Software Updater.

Page 96 of the Unofficial Manual for Zorin 15 shows how to do this.

Try using bottles a better alternative for wine (or a wine wrapper) it runs programs in an isolated container so the program does not mess with the host system

be sure to use the flatpak version

Most likely, you just need this:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
then try install zorin windows app..

If not, you can install wine 8.0 below:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key
sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/focal/winehq-focal.sources

Now...after install all that, do this next (the whole thing)..

sudo apt-get install libgnutls30:i386 libldap-2.4-2:i386 libgpg-error0:i386 libxml2:i386 libasound2-plugins:i386 libsdl2-2.0-0:i386 libfreetype6:i386 libdbus-1-3:i386 libsqlite3-0:i386

Then continue:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

and install wine tricks if want..
