VS Code Server Download Failing in WSL Integration

Issue Description

I’m experiencing consistent failures when Cursor tries to download the VS Code Server for WSL integration. The download attempts repeatedly fail with a 404 error, indicating that the server files cannot be found at the specified URL.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Launch Cursor with WSL integration (Ubuntu-22.04)
  2. Cursor attempts to download the VS Code Server for WSL
  3. Download fails with HTTP 404 error

Error Details

The logs show multiple failed attempts to download VS Code Server version 0.45.17:

Failed to download VS Code Server from https://cursor.blob.core.windows.net/remote-releases/0.45.17/vscode-reh-linux-x64.tar.gz: HTTP 404 - The specified blob does not exist.

The error repeats approximately every 30 seconds as Cursor continues trying to download the server component.

System Information

  • Operating System: Windows (WSL2 with Ubuntu-22.04)
  • Cursor Version: 0.81.8
  • WSL Details:
    • Windows build: 26100
    • WSL version: WSL2
    • Distro: Ubuntu-22.04

Impact

This issue completely prevents me from using Cursor with WSL. The application is unable to establish the necessary server connection to work with my Linux development environment.

Additional Information

  • The initial attempt to download VS Code Server version 906121b8c0bdf041c14a15dac228e66ab5505260 starts but then switches to attempting version 0.45.17
  • All subsequent download attempts for version 0.45.17 consistently fail
  • The issue appears to be that the required files don’t exist at the specified URL

Screenshots

[Please attach screenshots of your Cursor application showing the error if available]

I’ve checked the forum and didn’t find an existing report for this specific version mismatch issue with WSL.
