You need to execute this command from the WSL Switcher directory. The DLL not found ([WinError 126]) is called from the python install script. In the above instance, you would need to execute this: PS C:\Users\knigh\Git\WSL-Distribution-Switcher> C:\Windows\py.exe ./install.py "C:\Users\knigh\rootfs_fedora_latest.tar.gz"
