Trying to install on WSL, Windows 11

If you do the suggestion in the error message, does that allow you to get further in the install process?

I do think changing the permissions was part of the solution. I don't remember if that's the only thing I had to do, sorry. I did end up getting it working, I just opened this issue because the error message prompted me to and I thought it might be helpful. Feel free to close it!
