ZohoDocs Desktop application doesn't work with latest UbuntuMATE LTS 22.04

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have downloaded the latest tar.gz, extracted the contents and tried to install both by running the "zohodocs_installer.desktop" file or running the command "./.setup" as suggested in this post: https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/community/topic/ubuntu-20-04

In both instances, .zohodocs gets installed in my user home and my browser launches the user guide page (https://www.zoho.com/docs/help/zoho-docs-for-desktop.html?s=i) but the program fails to execute.



When I try to manually run ~/.zohodocs/bin/zohodocs I get the following error:


For completeness sake, I also downloaded the latest Zoho WorkDrive desktop installer and the result is the same.  The application appears to install but will fail to execute.

The Menu icon for Zoho Docs and startup application entry is also correctly created but as per using the command line, the application fails to run.

A solution is critical as Zoho Docs is essential to my business.
Kind regards
