Research direction

The report names no source file, test, entry point, kernel version, distro version, or diagnostic log. Start by reproducing the fresh Windows and WSL installation using Windows 10.0.26100.9457, then investigate the Wsl/CallMsi/Install/REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG failure; done means the installation no longer crashes and the cause is documented or fixed.
