windows-latest: Error: This Windows environment does not have WSL enabled, please verify your 'runs-on' setting

With runs-on: windows-latest I'm now getting the following error. I think it was working in the past, but I'm not entirely sure.
Did the action change or perhaps the setup of the windows-latest runner?
Thank you for your work on this action -- it's very helpful! :)

Run Vampire/setup-wsl@v2
Verify Windows Environment
Error: This Windows environment does not have WSL enabled, please verify your 'runs-on' setting

My job setup:

      - name: Install WSL distribution
        uses: Vampire/setup-wsl@v2
        with:
          distribution: Ubuntu-22.04
          use-cache: 'true'

Runner system info:

Is it a public project, so can you share the action run?
Can you rerun with debug and provide the log?
I let run the extensive test suite each night and the only thing that fails currently is with kali-linux distribution.
Here the test run of last night with exactly the setup you showed: https://github.com/Vampire/setup-wsl/actions/runs/6740051702/job/18322626531

Thanks! Let me verify the PATH setup and provide the debug log if it‘s alright.
If PATH is used to locate WSL, it may be a change in my workflow.

Yes, the action uses which in https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/main/packages/io/src/io.ts#L155 to determine whether wsl or wslconfig is present. If you modified the PATH and it is not found anymore, that can pretty well be the reason.

I'm sorry, but I've found a mistake in my setup, which incorrectly changed $PATH on Windows. Your action is working as expected.
