Does anybody know how to resolve this?

P.S. I did have WSL installed on my machine but it seems WinGet doesn't find it and still try to install WSL.

Start by reproducing `winget install SUSE.RancherDesktop` and reviewing the attached `WinGet-Microsoft.WSL.2.5.9-2025-06-26-21-50-43.980.log`, especially the `ValidateInstall` failure. The issue does not name a source file or test; done would require identifying the cause of WSL's exit code 1603 and verifying that the dependency installs successfully.
