I must have had this working before, as it part of my automated WSL setup, but when I try using xdg-open to open anything in WSL, I get this error:

/mnt/c/Windows/explorer.exe: Invalid argument

The path is correct. The executable is there. What's happening?

The file is curled directly to /usr/local/bin/xdg-open and made executable.

Excuse me, I figured it out. I knew this before, but I forgot that this happens. There is some sort of issue where Windows .exe executables become unavailable within WSL when another instance of WSL has been opened in another local user account.
