error 0x80004005 when install bash on ubuntu on windows 10

Question

I get the error 0x80004005 when I install bash on Ubuntu on Windows 10.OS insider preview china.

How do I fix it?

Answer 1

I've also encounter the problem. It's because the Microsoft account will create Chinese user folder name if you sign-in with your Microsoft account first time. The extracting process seems not work well on DBCS folder.

I've create a new local admin account in English and then try to sign-in Microsoft Account again, the problem has been solved.

Answer 2

You must use an English name for your home folder, this is because bash on windows currently only supports ASCII characters. I had the same issue with Cyrillic and I fixed it by making a new account with English.
