WSL Install Failures - 2.7.8.0
For those deploying new MCC servers, you may run into an error installing the distro for WSL, this appears to be due to a bug in WSL 2.7.8.0. Affecting KVM & AMD CPU devices. WSL 2.7.9 should be available shortly to mitigate this issue.
Errors seen:
- Error code: Wsl/InstallDistro/Service/RegisterDistro/CreateVm/0x800705b4
- Error code: Wsl/InstallDistro/0x80072eff
- Failure, expected Distro: Ubuntu-24.04. No Distros found.
The same errors will be seen when running 'wsl --install' which defaults to downloading Ubuntu.
