I have the code above running in a scheduled task that is running with an (domain?) administrator account.
When it returns from the scheduled task it's $p.ExitCode
is -1073741502
but if I run the same code in an administrative powershell prompt run as the same (domain?) administrative account it runs fine.
It makes me thing that it has something to do with the Local Security Policy
as I remember there being some sort of "Allow Batch Execution" or "Delegate" or some such privilege in there that prevents any group or user not included from running something as a batch job.
I also found the following log in the Event Viewer:
Okay, so I found a log entry in the System Log with a Source of Application Popup
, Event ID
26 which reads:
EventData -> Caption: `wsl.exe - Application Error`
EventData -> Message: `The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the application.`
