Trying to use Cursor with WSL2 (also with installed VisualStudio Code), but it return errors:
hunterxp@DESKTOP:~/self$ cursor .
Unable to determine app path from symlink : /mnt/c/Users/HUNTERxp/AppData/Local/Programs/cursor/resources/app/bin/code
I have checked twice, and file exists, but, looks like it made for Mac, because cat /mnt/c/Users/HUNTERxp/AppData/Local/Programs/cursor/resources/app/bin/code

Hello, just to say that I am facing the exact same issue (WSL2 on Windows 10).
When I try to run âcursorâ by itself on the WSL2 prompt, I get the following error:
martel@gluon:~$ cursor
/mnt/c/Users/martel/AppData/Local/Programs/cursor/resources/app/bin/cursor: 62: /mnt/c/Users/martel/AppData/Local/Programs/cursor/resources/app/bin/../cursor: not found
martel@gluon:~$
what error do you see?
