That is intented as those have to be signed by microsoft. Otherwise it won't install without installing the certificate first.

I guess that makes sense, though I wish there was an installer available, even if it was a regular MSI or InnoSetup EXE.

At some point, I want to create a CI pipeline to update the winget releases (or chocolatey for that matter) instead of making another installer. Currently, the winget package is outdated (I think v0.5.x) so it can be installed using the following:

winget install Bostrot.WSLManager

On any modern Windows.

I am closing this for now as I am currently not planning on creating an extra installer.

The winget/chocolatey packages should be enough.

I manually added the signed msix from Microsoft to the release for v1.6.0. I might create a workflow for that at some point to update it.

The workflow now contains a part that adds a self-signed msix to the releases. Instructions on how that can be installed can be found in the README.md.

e.g.

Add-AppPackage -Path .\wsl2-distro-manager-v1.6.2-unsigned.msix -AllowUnsigned
