**Please fill out the below information:** * Your Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18917.1000] * What you're doing and what's happening: I am trying to launch new distro under WSL2. I did first `wsl --set-default-version 2`, went to the shop and downloaded Ubuntu. Then I went to Start and clicked Ubuntu. After couple of seconds I was greeted with following error: ![Screenshot_205](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/754356/59395249-4a66e400-8d83-11e9-8319-b1e12da1cdee.png) * What's wrong / what should be happening instead: I should get a brand new distro under WSL2.
