MSIX installer
The msix is signed with a test certificate so you need to allow it specifically. In PowerShell you can do the following:
Add-AppPackage -Path .\wsl2-distro-manager-v1.x.x-unsigned.msix -AllowUnsignedInstall via Winget
The winget package is outdated! Please use the Windows Store version instead.
winget install Bostrot.WSLManagerInstall via Chocolatey
This package is maintained by the community (@mikeee). It is not an official package.
choco install wsl2-distro-managerInstall a nightly build
The last build can be found as artifacts in the "releaser" workflow or via this link. If you rather prefer an unsigned msix you can also use this link.
โ๏ธ Build
