Windows App Support missing 32bit dependency

General Help
#29

In this case, the two are unrelated.
i363 refers to 32 bit architecture.
i686 is a form of hybrid between 32bit and 64bit and is essentially 32bit.
There is no such thing as i586. I like your train of thought, but in this case, that is not how that works.
64bit is x86-64 - as Intel changed the scheming to prevent confusion.

I am set to Main Server.
The two boxes mentioned above are Checked on.
Zorin OS lite 16 version.
I can install it without any issues.
You added 32bit arch support already.

I am stumped...

If it is essential you need Windows apps and you can't get Wine or other equivalent to work if you have a Windows disk you could install it as a virtual machine in Virtual Machine Manager. I have Windows 8.1 Pro as a VM inside of Devuan 4.0 using Virt-Manager as it is often abbreviated to, but you would I suspect need 8 Gb Machine available and allocate 4 Gb of that to the Windows VM.

Windows App support is wrapped wine.

#32

I have read about architectures recently. I have mentioned i986 architecture too, and I am interested in why is it so. I will now test the Lite version. Maybe It will work

#33

Zorin OS Lite has installed
But only after enabling i386 architecture and REBOOT

But on Core doesn't. But I have found this package. sudo apt search wine gives that

Synaptic is asking for removing my drivers and chrome. Why?

#37

I do not trust that situation. I hope you did not proceed.
Please outline what you were installing through Synaptic.
It looks like it was trying to remove Libc6 64bit, to me. And that would be very bad if that happened.

#38

Of course, I have canceled it. I use Synaptic only for removing.

#39

When it comes to people and computers, I never have any idea what they will do, next.

Ok, what were you removing?

#40

libreoffice and WPS office. Twice :). ONLY. Nothing dangerous

#41

Why is it trying to remove Pitivi? Vulkan and Chrome?
It's offering to install a bunch of stuff. Mostly 32 bit packages.

#42

I don't know why. Probably it is cause of 32-bit library

#43

Have anyone found an idea how to install it?

#44

Are there plans by devs to fix zorin-windows-app-support? I have reinstalled my OS. But it doesn't help.

#45

I have installed Zorin Windows App Support!!!

Switching to the Main server has not changed the source.list, so I have manually set PPAs to the main server. And it works!!!

thank you, everyone !!!

Should Zorin windows app support install wine gecko and wine mono? My install has not made it.

#47

You can run

sudo apt install install wine-gecko mono-complete

You may have an easier time with Play On Linux and Winetricks

sudo apt install playonlinux winetricks dotnet45

#48

No wine-gecko package there. And dotnet45 too
