Rancher Desktop offline installation / initialization. I copied the files in $HOME/AppData/Local/rancher-desktop/cache , $HOME/.kuberlr and the executable. The installation ran correctly and finished, I rebooted and when RD starts it fails with an wsl error message 4294967295. Taking a look at the .kube config file it is completely blank. Seems like it would start successfully if it had a valid config file. Any ideas>?

found it, first it was saying to update the linux kernel, installed that package, rebooted and now its throwing these errors...
it may have something to do with me installing it on a vmware virtual machine, I'll try it on a physical machine...

I assume WSL2 is installed and working on the machine? But, yes, sometimes there are problems with nested VMs

I was able to get it working on the VM, just had to expose hardware virtualization to the guest machine
once I did that and rebooted, when I launched RD with nic disabled it launched sucessfully and created the kube.config and everything is working now
Another issue I ran into was once I got lens installed and viewed the cluster, there were errors with all the cluster images because it was trying to go to k8s.io for the pause container. I had to retag the pause container with the k8s.io tag to get the containers to pull successfully
