How to get older distros?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Hi, I wonder if its possible to install older wsl distros?

I would like to install 18.04.04 LTS Ubuntu, but Microsoft store only provides 18.04.05 LTS Ubuntu

I would like to run some software that is supported in 18.04.04 LTS Ubuntu.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to be able to choose the specific patch I can install for Ubuntu.
E.g. 18.04.04 LTS Ubuntu

Describe alternatives you've considered
Don't use WSL which defeats the purpose of the existence of WSL

Hello @Jefferson111

You can sideload version 18.04.02 which is still available and upgrade it bit a bit (I don't know how to do that) until 18.04.04.

See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WSL
