Windows Installer in Wine Cannot Connect to Network

I'm trying to install the Spitfire Audio App for use in my DAW. I can run wine SpitfireAudioWinSetup-3.2.0.exe and the installer wizard pops up just fine. After going through all the installation options and clicking "Install," this message pops up:
Other WINE apps (e.g. Firefox) are able to access the internet just fine, so it appears to be specific to this. I run Kubuntu 20.04 and have version 5.0 of WINE. How can I connect this installer to the internet? Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The latest version of Spitfire Audio App has a garbage rating in Wine as shown in the below screenshot. Manually downloading Spitfire Audio App version 3.1.15 which has a platinum rating works in Wine according to WineHQ.
To install Windows applications using Wine, follow these instructions source :
- Download the Windows application from any source (e.g. download.com). Download the .exe (executable).
- Place it in a convenient directory (e.g. the desktop or home folder).
- Open the terminal, and
cdinto the directory where the .exe is located. - Type wine the-name-of-the-application.extension (e.g.
wine realplayer_installer.exe).
This will start the .exe using Wine. If it is an installer, it should then run as it would in Windows. If the application asks for a directory to install the application to, select put it under C:\Program Files.
I have spitefire working just fine with Bitwig 8 Track. Are you still having issues? I did also install yabridge, which was a help seeing the windows VSTs in Bitwig
