Please open Software & Updates and ensure that "download from" is set to Main Server.
Update the cache.
Then open terminal and run
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Then try installing
sudo apt install zorin-windows-app-support
It looks like you will need to do that manually...
Open terminal and elevate to root:
sudo -i
Launch the file manager as root
nautilus
navigate to "other Locations" > "computer"
Then, /etc/apt/ and you should then see a file named sources.list
Right click that and choose open with > text editor.
Change kw.archive.ubuntu to archive.ubuntu by simply removing the kw...
There should be Two Lines for this. One is the main and one is security backports. Change them both.
Once done click the Save button and close it out.
In the Open Terminal, type
exit
The terminal will revert to your Home Directory. Now run
sudo apt update
That will refresh the cache and set to Main Server.
there seems to be multiple kw.archive.ubuntu in sources.list (11 to be exact), do i change them all to archive.ubuntu?
Yes. You may use the </> no-parse tags you see in the toolbar of the reply window to print a full display of your entire sources.list in order to be sure.

Ok, it looks fine. Leave that open in case you need to Undo the changes (In gedit, this is easily done with ctrl+z keyboard shortcut. Tapping that shortcut undoes One Change with each tap. You can tap it like a maniac to completely revert all changes, as long as you have not saved and closed the file.
It only applies per session.
So leave it open, test if you can run
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
in terminal. Then try installing Zorin Windows App Support.
stuck on installing 0%
Did sudo apt update show any 404 errors?
nope but i do see a "dpkg: warning: unable to delete old directory /var/lib/fwupd: directory not empty from running sudo apt upgrade though
That's pretty normal. Sometimes, different applications store files in shared directories. For this reason, a removal of a specific package defaults to not removing a directory that may have shared files.
We could try just installing Wine 6 or 7 from the Wine Repository instead...:
nvm it took some time but it did install
