Rename the folder to a shorter name.

Same issue. I move the folder to C:\WSA but both Run.bat and Install.ps1 fail.

My OS is Windows 11 Build 25381 (insider canary channel)

I have installed WSA through this blog. I uninstalled it in the start menu before I tried this repo, but now I can't install the original version of WSA or WSA built from this repo.

Maybe an incomplete uninstall issue but can't find any app related to WSA in start menu or in the setting.

Same issue.

@UranusITS I think you should go to %LOCALAPPDATA%/Packages/ and delete the folder named MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForAndroid_8wekyb3d8bbwe

[UranusITS]

@YT-Advanced I tried this method but it's not working :(

Actually I deleted any folder containing WindowsSubsystemForAndroid or related to 'WSA' by searching in everything, but sadly not working.

Anyway, I finally solved this issue after a Windows Update (canary channel) and found the error log was different with error code HRESULT: 0x80073CFB. After I reinstalled WSA (original version) and uninstalled it with any method I can find, I managed to install the WSA built from this repo successfully.

However, I'm sorry that I cannot reproduce the exact operations to solve this issue. I still think an incomplete uninstall caused it.

the different log mentioned above, in Chinese

```txt Installing MagiskOnWSA....

I had the same issue, Turns out it was because I had installed WSA in a different profile previously. Had to go uninstall it from there and delete the profile to get it to install. Hope that helps you.

I’m getting the same issue and can’t find a solution. I uninstalled the previous WSA and any related files/folders. No other profiles on the device where traces might have remained. Still getting the error:

Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF9
Rejecting a request to register from AppxBundleManifest.xml because the manifest is not in the package root.

I'm also getting this issue. There aren't any other WSA profiles on this PC other than a WSL installation on this same user account.
