you need to rename the appropriate package which ends with x64 again to .zip then extract it again to have the ubuntu.exe then run it and it will install , the manafist file resides inside each package
1- Rename the downloaded file Ubuntu2204.appx
to Ubuntu2204_.zip
, then extract this archive. Inside there are different appx files for different platforms. Choose the one for your platform, e.g. Ubuntu_2204.1.7.0_x64.appx
.
2 - Rename the appx file for your platform again to Ubuntu2204.zip
and extract this archive.
3- Extract the files in Ubuntu2204.zip
to the target location where you would like your linux distro to reside.
4- Open the target location folder with the files of Ubuntu2204.zip extracted
and run the file ubuntu.exe
, which is located inside the folder. This will install the distribution
Cannot install Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on windows server 2019
The "Windows Server Installation Guide" refers to "Manual installation steps for older versions of WSL" section "Downloading distributions" which links to some DistrubutionXX.AppxBundle files which cannot be installed in my server "Microsoft Windows Server 2019 ( 1809 OS Build 17763.3287)"
Leads to "Please ensure that you have the correct MaxVersionTested" error.
