I'm trying to install Rancher Desktop Version: 1.7.0 in windows 11 this has WSL-2 enabled and running without problems. When I install Rancher Desktop in windows the app does start but reports a networking issue:

The application cannot reach the general internet for updated kubernetes versions and other components, but can still operate.

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '\\wsl$\rancher-desktop-data\etc\hosts'

The images tab reports:

Waiting for image manager to be ready

wsl version shows:

WSL version: 1.1.3.0

Kernel version: 5.15.90.1

WSLg version: 1.0.49

MSRDC version: 1.2.3770

Direct3D version: 1.608.2-61064218

DXCore version: 10.0.25131.1002-220531-1700.rs-onecore-base2-hyp

Windows version: 10.0.22623.1325

I would appreciate any pointers on how best to debug this issue

I would try the #rancher-desktop group. rancher-setup is related to the cluster management software Rancher Manager.
