Notes for uploading to the Store

Prevent users from installing to alternate drives / removable media

Currently, WSL only supports installing distros to the system drive. However, by default the Windows Store lets users install apps to whatever drive they like. This can cause users to encounter unexpected errors if they install the app to a removable drive.

Fortunately, the fix for this is relatively simple. When uploading your app to the Store, make sure to un-check the following box during the submission process.

As long as that is un-checked, users will only be able to install on the system drive.
