Broken after system restore/restore point #120

Closed imp69 closed 6 months ago

So I had a totally unrelated issue that I had to use a restore point for. Afterwords, the pi-hole refused to launch. Tried to manually get it to start, but no processes related to it ran. So I figured I'd just use the uninstall batch to reinstall it and successfully uninstalled it. Now I have the issue of it simply not installing.

cmd_2024-06-03_04-19-21 What I get is that. I have checked everywhere for any leftovers and I can't find any at all. Any idea how I might go about fixing this? I can't provide logs because it doesn't even make the folder, and it's ran as admin/seemingly proper permissions.

This can be closed now, I fixed it by redownloading WSL via the repo. Docker failed to work, so I figured it was WSL, and it didn't matter how many times I disabled/re-enabled WSL, WSL failed to work. So if anyone else ends up encountering this particular problem you should try doing that; https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/releases?page=1

Thank you for the script by the way! Makes it very simple when Windows isn't being a monster!
