My stated problem is that available appx-packages require Windows 1709, which I cannot have. This problem is neither addressed nor answered in the referenced question.
As instâncias atuais da WSL distribuídas na Windows Store oferecem suporte apenas a 1709 e superiores.
I specifically ask for a source for appx-packages that will run on Windows 10 1703. That information is not provided in the answers to the referenced question, b/c the user does not need them, b/c they are on Windows 10 1709.
Isso não é possível.
I specifically ask if the most recent versions, i.e. the ones mentioned in the referenced question, can be hacked to not require version 1709 anymore. That information is not provided in the answers to the referenced question, b/c the user is on Windows 10 1709.
Isso não é possível
As there are blog posts and such where people write about running Linux on Windows 10 1703, there must be appx-packages out there, that will run on Windows 1703. Can anyone provide me with a source for such (outdated) packages?
Tudo o que você precisa fazer é executar lxrun /install
em um prompt de comando elevado. A instância correta do Ubuntu WSL será baixada e instalada automaticamente.
However, the currently available Linux Distros for WSL all require the most recent Windows version, 1709, which I do not have and cannot get, due to company policy.
A propósito, a única instância do WSL que é compatível com o seu sistema é o Ubuntu 16.04. Você pode executar um forçado atualize para o 18.04, mas não posso sugerir uma atualização usando esse método. Se você precisar de um método offline para instalar o WSD do Ubuntu 16.04 no Windows 10 v1703, você pode usar o lxRunOffline v1.1.0 .
The following instructions are for users running Windows 10 Anniversary Update or Windows 10 Creators Update:
- Enable Developer Mode
- Open PowerShell as Administrator and run: Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux
- Reboot
- Open a command prompt. Type bash and hit enter
The first time you run Bash on Ubuntu on Windows, you'll be prompted to accept Canonical's license. Once accepted, WSL will download and install the Ubuntu instance onto your machine, and a "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" shortcut will be added to your start menu.
