Description

Brief description of your issue

During setup of a new Windows 11 system I installed WSL and the "Fedora Remix for WSL" distribution.

Steps to reproduce

I used 'winget installwhitewaterfoundry.fedora-remix-for-wsl'. This does however not install the (newer) store version. When trying to install the store version with 'winget install -s msstore 9N6GDM4K2HNC' I get "Verifying/Requesting package acquisition failed: server error".

Expected behavior

winget should be able to install the store version.

Actual behavior

winget is not able to install the store version.

Reproduce the two winget commands from the report and inspect the diagnostic files under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\DiagOutputDir. Compare the package acquisition path for the msstore source with the Fedora Remix package, and consider the issue resolved when the store package installs successfully without the server error.
