[merkuriy]

WslManager v0.7.0 is working fine.

[rkttu]

Thank you for your reporting. I will update this part of code to ensure better error handling.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

@merkuriy @ArtyomPerederiy v0.7.0 uses separate utility called WslQuery to list up installed WSL distros. I assume that WslQuery fails to query due to unexpected conditions. Could you attach the result of WslQuery exeuction? It'll be helpful. (WslQuery.exe comes from https://github.com/rkttu/WslQuery and it's binary included with the v0.7.0 release.)

[Peredery]

After ~10s, i got nothing

[merkuriy]

After run, I also have silence. I tried to run as admin and as a regular user.

PS C:\Program Files\WSLManager> .\WslQuery.exe --pretty
PS C:\Program Files\WSLManager>

[vbrozik]

I have the same problem. I have Windows 10 1909
I tested the separately downloaded wslquery and it does not show any output - as in the comments above.

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.
