WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80070057 #11284

Closed karashiiro closed 7 months ago

karashiiro commented 7 months ago

Windows Version

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22621.3235]

WSL Version

2.1.4.0

Are you using WSL 1 or WSL 2?

Kernel Version

No response

Distro Version

Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS

Other Software

No response

Repro Steps

Unclear, I had a power outage and WSL was broken when I started my computer again - nothing else appears to be broken.

Expected Behavior

WSL registers the Linux distro successfully.

Actual Behavior

When starting an existing WSL installation using Ubuntu 20.04, it failed with an error: Error code: Wsl/Service/CreateInstance/CreateVm/HCS/E_INVALIDARG.

I unregistered the distro and attempted to install Ubuntu 20.04.06 LTS, and was unable to do so successfully (both on WSL 1 and WSL 2). The error I get when booting the distro is now WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80070057. I also tried installing Debian and got the same error. I've been experiencing this issue for a few days now, and attached two sets of logs from both when I started seeing this and today.

Thank you for reporting this @karashiiro. It looks like your Hyper-V firmware might be expired. Can you share the output of: (powershell)

Thank you @karashiiro. These versions look correct. Let's look at the signatures. Can you share the output of: (powershell)

Thank you @karashiiro. Looking at the logs again this issue might be caused by a corrupted WSL installation.

Can you try to run wsl.exe --update --pre-release to see if that solves the issue ?

karashiiro commented 7 months ago

That gave another error:

Checking for updates.
Updating Windows Subsystem for Linux to version: 2.1.5.
The older version of Windows Subsystem for Linux cannot be removed.  Contact your technical support group.
Update failed (exit code: 1603).

OneBlue commented 7 months ago

Hmm it does indeed look like a corrupted installation. Does manually downloading the MSI helps ?

If that doesn't work, you can also try: Get-AppxPackage MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemforLinux -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage in an elevated powershell

karashiiro commented 7 months ago

Manual MSI installation failure: image

Tries and fails to read C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\MicrosoftCorporationII.WindowsSubsystemForLinux_2.0.9.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\wsl.msi, which indeed does not exist.

Cancelling gives this before exiting: image

The command doesn't give an error, and attempting to wsl --install -d Ubuntu-20.04 now works 🚀

Attempting to run wsl --update afterwards causes it to break again in the same way, but re-running the PowerShell command fixes it.

karashiiro commented 7 months ago

While it's concerning that wsl --update breaks things again, my WSL installation seems to otherwise be working now, so thank you for all your help!

OneBlue commented 7 months ago

Interesting. It looks like your machine is hitting some sort of MSIX issue where the MSIX package doesn't properly install. Closing for now since the issue is resolved.
