OTNS fails to add router on WSL

OTNS fails at multiple levels on WSL, not just adding a router, but for the sake of troubleshooting what's happening I'm focusing on why adding a router fails and crashes the app. First time using this tool.
Following https://openthread.io/codelabs/openthread-network-simulator#1
Running: otns -log info -listen 172.27.241.126:9000 from openthread/build/simulation/examples/apps/cli
Fails to add router with error:
