Describe the bug
Hello,
When I try to run Distrod on a User which has a white space in its home directory (e.g. C:\Users\My Account), the import of the downloaded archive breaks.
[Distrod][ERROR] Failed to register the distribution.
Caused by:
Failed: cmd.exe /C wsl --import Distrod %LocalAppData%\Distrod "C:\Users\MYACCO~1\AppData\Local\Temp\.tmpJmcTKu\install.tar.gz"
Steps to reproduce
- Create a new local user with a name separated by a whitespace, it is mandatory the user has its home directory with the same name format (C:\Users\My Account)
- Run distrod and choose to download a container image from linuxcontainers.org
- Choose Rocky Linux (21)
- Choose version 8
- Wait for the download and then the error should appear during the import
Expected behavior
Successful import of the downloaded distro image into WSL
Windows version
Windows 11 21H2 (Build SO 22000.856)
Linux kernel version
No distro installed
Distro
Rocky Linux 8
How did you install that distro?
Installed by Distrod wizard

=================================================================================
Thanks for trying Distrod! Choose your distribution to install.
You can install a local .tar.xz, or download an image from linuxcontainers.org.
* linuxcontainers.org is a vendor-neutral project that offers distro images for
containers, which is not related to Distrod. LXC/LXD is one of its projects.
BTW, you can run Systemd with distrod, so you can try LXC/LXD with distrod!

Same issue. Had to work around it by installing the distro manually and then enabling it with option 2 to get systemd started up
