Problem with Linux

[FredrikAndersson]

Hello,

I can't install Windows Subsystem for Linux
I get the following error message
I would appreciate if someone could give me a tip to solve this,
My error message:
wsl --install

Class not registered

Error code: Wsl/CallMsi/REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG

When I go into the Microsoft Store I see that Debian is installed but when I click to open it I get the error message below in an infinite loop.

Installing, this may take a few minutes...

WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x8007019e Error: 0x8007019e

The Windows Subsystem for Linux is not installed. You can install by running 'wsl.exe --install'.

wsl --install resulting in Error code: Wsl/CallMsi/REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG suggests that something is blocking WSL from properly installing.

Do you have any third party security software or Group Policy possibly prohibiting installation of third party applications?

Another option you could try is to enable the feature manually in Windows:

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart
dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart

Restarting, and then running wsl.exe --update to ensure you are on the latest version.
