The Zalo installer should launch fine on Ubuntu. Here are the steps to ensure that it is working:

1. Run rm -rf ~/.wine to delete your old wine data and apps
2. sudo apt-get purge 'wine*' libwine 'wine*:i386'
3. sudo apt autopurge
4. sudo apt install wine wget
5. cd ~ To make sure you are in the correct folder
6. wget https://res-download-pc-te-vnso-tt-2.zadn.vn/win/ZaloSetup-24.1.1.exe . This directly gets what https://zalo.me/pc would send you to
7. ls ~/ZaloSetup-24.1.1.exe to check if the file is in the right folder
8. wine ~/ZaloSetup-24.1.1.exe. Prefer the ./ (current directory) or ~/ (home directory) prefix while running .exe files to avoid confusing error messages like some .exe is not found in system32. You should see the following:
