Can't rebuild on freshly imported WSL Tarball

[stfnx]

Hi,
I've imported the latest release tarball 23.5.5.2 and started it, but a nixos-rebuild switch or sudo nixos-rebuild switch (without changing any options) results in the following error:

[nixos@nixos:~]$ sudo nixos-rebuild switch warning: Nix search path entry '/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos' does not exist, ignoring warning: Nix search path entry '/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels' does not exist, ignoring error: file 'nixpkgs/nixos' was not found in the Nix search path (add it using $NIX_PATH or -I) at «string»:1:13: 1| with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; config.system.build.nixos-rebuild | ^ (use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information) building Nix... warning: Nix search path entry '/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos' does not exist, ignoring warning: Nix search path entry '/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels' does not exist, ignoring error: file 'nixpkgs/nixos' was not found in the Nix search path (add it using $NIX_PATH or -I) at «none»:0: (source not available) warning: Nix search path entry '/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos' does not exist, ignoring warning: Nix search path entry '/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels' does not exist, ignoring error: file 'nixpkgs' was not found in the Nix search path (add it using $NIX_PATH or -I) at «none»:0: (source not available) warning: Nix search path entry '/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos' does not exist, ignoring warning: Nix search path entry '/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels' does not exist, ignoring error: file 'nixpkgs/nixos/modules/installer/tools/nix-fallback-paths.nix' was not found in the Nix search path (add it using $NIX_PATH or -I) at «none»:0: (source not available) /tmp/nixos-rebuild.KPyYGh/nix warning: Nix search path entry '/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos' does not exist, ignoring warning: Nix search path entry '/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels' does not exist, ignoring error: file 'nixpkgs' was not found in the Nix search path (add it using $NIX_PATH or -I) at «none»:0: (source not available) building the system configuration... warning: Nix search path entry '/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos' does not exist, ignoring warning: Nix search path entry '/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels' does not exist, ignoring error: file 'nixpkgs/nixos' was not found in the Nix search path (add it using $NIX_PATH or -I) at «none»:0: (source not available) 

My WSL version is up to date.

PS C:\Users\stfnx> wsl --version WSL-Version: 2.0.7.0 Kernelversion: 5.15.133.1-1 WSLg-Version: 1.0.59 MSRDC-Version: 1.2.4677 Direct3D-Version: 1.611.1-81528511 DXCore-Version: 10.0.25880.1000-230602-1350.main Windows-Version: 10.0.19045.3570

What am I missing here?
