I did wsl --install am using Windows 11 on Dell laptop. It shows
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> wsl --status
Default Distribution: Ubuntu
Default Version: 2

Windows Subsystem for Linux was last updated on 3/26/2022
WSL automatic updates are on.

Kernel version: 5.10.102.1
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>

But when I use Ubuntu to do installation
hwuser@D5505:/mnt/c/All_Data/myosInstall/USB$ sudo bash myos-install.sh -src myos.bin -dst myos.img
[sudo] password for hwuser:
WSL1 is not supported, please install WSL2 to use this installer.

PowerShell shows that the default is version 2. Am I running version 1 or version 2?
How can I fix this?

Welcome to ElevenForums!

Are you sure of your build #? Right click Start, Run and type winver for the build #.

You are more likely to get answers to your issues is you complete your 'System Specs' - click 'My Computer' below for mine.

This shows that you are running Ubuntu as version 2 of WSL.

Also, a wsl --install only installs WSL version 2. WSL Version 1 did not install this way.

What is that you are trying to install? What is myos-install.sh?

WHen you run wsl -l -v, it should show you the version you are running. You can see all of my WSL distros are running 2.
