Windows 10: Need some solid linux/wsl > windows registry help

klepp0906 · Feb 26, 2020

Yeap, no idea where else to turn on this one. I've spent a good 9 hours today, two purges/formats/image restorations on my pc's - all in an attempt to get this working.

Ive used Proper Bash Scripting on Windows: Associate SH Scripts to WSL (Windows 10) (Enable drag-and-drop to .sh) (+other Linux Executables) - CodeProject his .reg files for quite some time to launch ubuntu/.bash scripts natively in windows 10.

this one in particular
open_with_bash_stay_open.reg

Its still working well/as intended,, minus one important part. I'm running into an issue with the run-as-administrator option now. It used to open the ubuntu window asking for my sudo password. Now im greeted with this.

I merged it into another pc, and the result was the same. Unsure what changed but i imagine something with the pathing in the reg file relative to the location of the ubuntu exe in windows or something? Or maybe not, perhaps some kinda newlyfound permissions issue.

either way its present on 2 different pc's.

If anyone can help me figure this out, i wouldnt even have words. Really after burning an entire day for whats so far amounted to nothing - im poised to offer $$ lol.

Using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) in an Enterprise

Recently, customers in an enterprise environment have asked if there is a way to install WSL without an internet connection. These companies had some machines that would benefit from having WSL, but don't have an internet connection for security, logistics, or other reasons.

Enter: The Microsoft Store for Business

We (the WSL team) took a look into this issue and found that enterprises could use the Microsoft Store for Business to help deploy WSL distros to their company, including offline distribution! The Microsoft Store for Business is essentially another way to interact with the Microsoft Store, but from an enterprise administrator perspective. This includes tools like acquiring licenses for apps for your company, controlling which users can access which apps, and even providing a custom private company store which has a collection of apps that only your employees can view, and download.

To actually enable offline distribution, any distro owner needs to have elected to have 'offline licensing' available on their distro app. Luckily, many of our distro creators have already enabled offline licensing. At the time of writing this article this includes:

Kali Linux

Ubuntu (Including 16.04 and 18.04)

Debian

For More Information

The customers who originally asked about installing WSL in an offline mode have verified that our solution works for them! We realized that this information would be useful to all enterprise customers, so we added a new page to the WSL docs: 'Windows Subsystem for Linux for Enterprise'. This doc provides helpful resources on how to use the Microsoft Store for Business to deploy WSL to your company, as well as step by step instructions on how to acquire the offline installer for a distro of your choice.

Please take a look, and as always give us any feedback that you may have!
