How to Install and Run VideoPad in Zorin 18 (Linux)

Spike109

I was reading a post about someone who was trying to run VP in Linux Mint. I have started experimenting with Zorin and I have some questions about installing and running VP in Linux in general. I am new to Zorin/Linux so please forgive my mistakes in asking these questions. And, yes, I know that VP is not supported in any form of Linux.

I remember when i re-imaged my Windows 10 computer, I had to uninstall VP and re-install it to make sure I did not mess up the licensing. Is the same going to be true if I decide to experiment with VP in Linux? Will I have to remove it from my WIndows computer first? I am guessing, "Yes".
related to #1, above) Will I have to go through the "regular" installation process for VP or can I "just" copy the installed files? (I suspect the answer is that I will have to run the install .exe.)
(related to #2, above) If I have to run the installation .exe, Then I assume I will have to run that installation .exe in ... Wine/Bottles? And then, assuming that works, I will have to run VP in Wine/Bottles as well. Correct?

Thanks for any insights and experiences that anyone might share.

On #1, you may not have to uninstall as long as both aren't running concurrently. My guess on queries 2 & 3: Yes.

VideoPad does not have native Linux support and is designed specifically for Windows and Mac OS. While it cannot be installed directly, users have reported running it on Linux using compatibility layers like Wine.

Methods to Run VideoPad on Linux:

Wine: Users can install the Wine Windows Emulator to attempt to run the Windows version of VideoPad.
Virtual Machine (VM): Running VideoPad inside a Windows Virtual Machine (e.g., VirtualBox) is often more stable than using Wine.
