WSL1 support

[sanjosanjo]

I notice that WSL2 is mentioned in the summary of the project. Are there any issues with operating on a WSL1 installation?
Editing after trying the tool on Windows 11: I notice that there is a discrepancy in the displayed version number in the main windows vs. that in the "Distribution properties" windows. I only have a single distribution on the machine. Is this expected? Or does this indicate some problem with my installation?

Hi @sanjosanjo,

this is a bug. I try to fix it as soon as possible.

Thanks. Just FYI, I installed WSL1 when this machine was Win10 and then it got upgraded to Win11. The WSL1 installation has been quirky with Win11 and I've been wondering if I should fully uninstall and reinstall WSL1. That's actually why I was using your tool - to help with the complete re-install of WSL1. I want to make sure I completely remove any remnant of the installation from Win10 to eliminate any possibilities.

Hello @sanjosanjo,

WslGuiTool read distribution information from HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Lxss registry to fill distribution propertiies windows.

When I create a distribution under WSL1, in the registry, WSL save Version to 2 :/ It's sucks.

But, the list in main window run wsl command line and in this case, wsl command line return version 1.

My v1 distribution has flag 0111 (see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/wslapi/ne-wslapi-wsl_distribution_flags)

But my v2 distribution has flag 1 0101.

Can you give me flags of you ditribution v1 and v2?
