Hi All,

I want to install Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on Windows Server 2019. I am following the MS article linked below:

https://zcusa.951200.xyz/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual#downloading-distributions

The article mentions performing the steps listed, but the distribution I downloaded has the extension .AppxBundle.

ubuntu

Rename-Item .\Ubuntu.appx .\Ubuntu.zip 
Expand-Archive .\Ubuntu.zip .\Ubuntu  
Add-AppxPackage .\app_name.appx

Can someone guide me on how to install Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on Windows Server 2019?
