What's wrong / what should be happening instead:

What's wrong is that the following error message occurs:

"Installing, this may take a few minutes...
WslRegisterDistribution failed with error: 0x800700b7
The distribution installation has become corrupted.
Please select Reset from App Settings or uninstall and reinstall the app.
Error: 0x800700b7 Cannot create a file when that file already exists."

What should happen is the installation of ubuntu

What I've done :

sc query LxssManager
sc stop LxssManager
sc start LxssManager
==> same issue
2)
remove WSL > restart server > add WSL feature
==> same issue

Thanks for your help
