In some reason i had to use wsl in non-admin user. Then i got HRESULT:0x80070005. So how can i install this distro correctly?? Thanks for reading.

Where do you installed it to? It will probably work if you put it in a directory with full permissions and ownership.

I extracted the CentOS7.zip to C:\CentOS7\ and ran the EXE directly, then got the failure info as above.

I'm thinking that perhaps I should install it under my home DIR(e.g. C:\Users\XXX) or somewhere else??

I'm going to have a try next week.

@yuk7 Apologies for the delayed response.

Installing the distro to the non-admin user's home dir worked for me.

Thanks for the tips : )
