The windows-2025 GitHub actions runner image preview does not yet have WSL installed properly.
So to make my setup-wsl action compatible, I need to first execute wsl --install --no-distribution.
My action uses @actions/exec to do the necessary tool executions.
The problem is, that calling wsl --install from an interactive shell works perfectly fine.
But if I do it via @actions/exec it behaves like if called using echo | wsl --install which refuses to do its work but just says WSL is not installed yet.
How can wsl --install be called non-interactively?
