Expected Behavior

WSL should install

Actual Behavior

The deployment operation was blocked due to a per-package-family policy restricting deployments on a non-system volume. Per policy, this app must be installed to the system drive, but that's not set as the default. In Storage Settings, make the system drive the default location to save new content, then retry the install.
