The installation follows these two documents: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-on-server and https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual
The previous steps had some minor problems but were not fatal until the execution of ubuntu.exe, the ubuntu folder only has a ubuntu1804.exe but not ubuntu.exe so I executed the ubuntu1804.exe, but immediately received an error:
`Installing, this may take a few minutes...
WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x80070001
Error: 0x80070001 ??????

Press any key to continue...
