This morning I found the explanation for the Admin-only problem: The 
whole WSL was installed under Admin's directory, so it's Admin's program.

I guess I misunderstood "install as admin" and it should have been 
"install under admin rights".

Maybe I find some time later this day to redo it under the ordinary 
user's account (with admin rights), or I must postpone it to next week.

The other problem is more difficult - finding a network connection to 
our server (or: to the server's directory with the data). Using mount 
with the Windows resource (\\192.168.67.1) only yields "unknown 
filesystem type". So there there seems to be no abstraction layer that 
would translate the Windows network drive into a mountable Linux drive.

My trials with sshfs failed yesterday - must find a quiet hour to dive 
into it somewhat deeper.
