I'm using archlinux-2022.07.01-x86_64.iso that download via tuna mirror, and checksum passed.
And my Windows Version is 10.0.22621

I met the same question like this issue #195. You can delete AppxInstallerCache in Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Lxss\\.

Another choice is creating DistributionName REG_SZ Alpine (Alpine is an arbitrary) microsoft/WSL#3720.
Maybe it throws err_get_key_value when empty cache entry like{AppxInstallerCache} or {TryStoreWSL} exist in Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Lxss. @DDoSolitary
