Did you follow the exact steps in the guide? The error you encounter usually is caused by that fact the file to unzip us big a zip file. You can try downloading the file through browser and then unzip using GUI tools like 7zip and then follow other steps to install.

Re: Install Windows Subsystem for Linux on a Non-System Drive

I uninstalled everything then tried again and got this exception:-

"New-Object : Exception calling ".ctor" with "3" argument(s): "Zip 64 End of Central Directory Record not where
indicated."
At
C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive\Microsoft.PowerShell.Archive.psm1:934
char:23
+ ... ipArchive = New-Object -TypeName System.IO.Compression.ZipArchive -Ar ...
+                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (:) [New-Object], MethodInvocationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ConstructorInvokedThrowException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewObjectCommand"

So my system is still trying to use the "C" drive, didn't get this last time but it installed correctly, just on my C drive.
