WSLRun([wsl.exe -l]): exit status 0xffffffff

  • If you encounter this message during the FluxCore installation or while the UI is installing dependencies, it indicates an issue with your WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) setup.
  • Here's how you can potentially resolve the issue:
  1. Check for .wslconfig File:

    • Navigate to C:\Users\<User> in File Explorer.
    • Look for a file named .wslconfig.

    Note: It may be hidden. To reveal hidden files, right-click inside the C:\Users\<User> folder, select "Properties," check the "Hidden" checkbox, click "Apply," and then "OK."

  1. Check for fluxcore-wsl-kernel:
  • Ensure that a directory named fluxcore-wsl-kernel exists in C:\Users\<User>.
  1. Delete .wslconfig:
  • If you find the .wslconfig file, delete it.
  1. Delete FluxCore in AppData:
  • Navigate to C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\FluxCore.
  • Delete the FluxCore folder.
    • Note: The file OpenHardwareMonitorLib.sys may not delete itself. This file is for monitoring CPU temperature and is not critical if it remains.
  1. Rerun FluxCore.exe:
  • Once you've deleted these files and folders, rerun the FluxCore.exe installation file.

Following these steps should prevent the error message from appearing again.
