Error seen during 02_install.ps1

[bmurmann]

Enter target directory of WSL dist: C:\Users\bmurm\temp
Import in progress, this may take a few minutes.
The operation completed successfully.
<3>WSL (9) ERROR: CreateProcessEntryCommon:502: execvpe ./02_install.sh failed 2
<3>WSL (9) ERROR: CreateProcessEntryCommon:505: Create process not expected to return
The operation completed successfully.

Any idea on how to address these errors? Similar ones show up in later steps as well. Something to do with permissions?

Could be a new issue with WSL?
microsoft/WSL#10767

Looks like a permission issue with the target directory, try a different one?
I will add a fix to elevate this script as well so it will not be an issue.

I tried a different directory and also running the script as admin, no success.

This runs fine: wsl.exe -d $DistName
But this fails with error 2 (file not found?): wsl.exe -d $DistName -e ./02_install.sh

The internet is full with reports of this error, see e.g.:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1423048/i-am-getting-error-on-windows-subsystem
I tried setting the correct default distro, but that also didn't help.

Definitely an issue with WSL and not your script. I will try to start fresh with all distros deleted.
