Thank you for reporting this @adokitkat.

Can you try to collect the MSI logs of an installation with this warnings ? You can do that via:

msiexec /i <path/to/msi> /L*V C:\wsllogs.txt

You might need to remove WSL for the warnings to show up again during installation.

I'm experiencing this. WSL got bricked on its own and I can't even remove it from my system!

What do you mean by you "can't remove it" ? What exact error do you see ?

Idk, even uninstalling it and disabling the optional feature would still not work. Even if I uninstalled it, it would still seem like it was still installed. A chad in the comments for a similar issue advised to manually delete a registry key (i think it was wslService?) and after that it got fixed.

I also uninstalled WSL and it is still there. Us telling you these things are what helps you guys and gals create the best product. That no one could ever beat. If you would quit avoiding actual problems. No one is perfect, don't have to act so sour.
