I'm getting this error during install - the previous install hung and then onwards it does not complete successfully. Any idea how to repair this or cleanup and restart?

Disabling the power service worked for me too.

  1. Open msconfig.exe in the windows menu bar
  2. Go to the "services" tab
  3. Start typing "power" and it will auto find the correct service.
  4. Untick the checkbox
  5. Restart your PC
  6. Make sure you do not have any Docker installation files in your drive
  7. Start the installation process again and hopefully that'll work for you

I had the same issue and seemed to start happening after the lasted window update.

I manage to solve the issue by stopping and disabling the "power" (Power management) window service. I did repeat the process two times and seemed to be a consistent issue, at least in my case. Be sure this service is not running, at least in my case it worked, hope this helps.

I tried everything (reboot, different versions 2.5, 3.0, 3.3, power, disabling real-time protection). Only increasing timeout helped me:

  1. Click Start, click Run, type Regedit, and then click OK.
  2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
  3. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
  4. In the right pane, locate the ServicesPipeTimeout entry. Note If the ServicesPipeTimeout entry does not exist, you must create it. To do this, follow these steps:
  • On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
  • Type ServicesPipeTimeout, and then press ENTER.
  1. Right-click ServicesPipeTimeout, and then click Modify.
  2. Click decimal, type 60000, and then click OK.

To anyone getting this error:

Component CommunityInstaller.EnableFeaturesAction failed

The fix for me was enabling this service:

Windows Modules Installer

Note I used a tool [1] to do this, but I think you can also just use the normal Services App.

I faced the same issue while installing Docker 3.5.0

Download failed: Could not find a part of the path ‘C:\Users\name\AppData\Local\Temp\rzsiezg3p2h’. at CommunityInstaller.InstallWorkflow.d__23.MoveNext()

I resolved it by following these steps.

  1. Download and install docker 2.5.0.1
  2. After installation open docker desktop.
  3. A pop-up appears to update docker to 3.4.0 (or later), click update.
  4. Once updated you are ready to launch and play with docker desktop.

Alternately you can try downloading and installing docker 3.4.0 directly.

I have faced a similar issue and needed to do the following:

  1. Uninstall.

  2. If there are any leftovers, you should:

    • Run the RegEdit with Admin Rights.
    • Delete all remaining entries of Docker Desktop.

After this, I was able to install it properly. Also, I have noticed in my case, this situation has become repetitive in every update.

P.S.:

The power idea proposed in the previous answers didn't work in my case. Somehow, the installation got corrupted and couldn't run. This has happened more than once after Docker tries to update.

For me the issue was related to https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues/127

A different version of NLog from the windows GAC was interfering with the one that comes with the docker installation.

To resolve this the version in the GAC has to be deleted:

  1. go to %windir%\Microsoft.NET\assembly
  2. find the folder NLog
  3. delete it

Since I saw some comments regarding overall installation issues, I have separated a link with the main issues faced while installing Docker Desktop for Windows 10

  1. One of the main problems is a permission issue related to the WindowsApps folder - When WSL 2 failed to start with the access denied error. The article below shows how to solve that: https://www.maketecheasier.com/access-windowsapps-folder-windows-10/

More discussions about other related access-denied issues below: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-update/kb4565503-installed-then-wsl-2-failed-to-start/25794c4f-0b20-465e-bbdb-a8af3d9e0e88?auth=1

  1. Install Docker Desktop using some of these step-by-step guides: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-install-wsl2-windows-10

A good alternative one: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/how-to-install-wsl2-on-windows-10

  1. In case you are facing some CPU/memory consumption issue in Windows, these settings could help https://medium.com/@lewwybogus/how-to-stop-wsl2-from-hogging-all-your-ram-with-docker-d7846b9c5b37

  2. Probably you will face this issue regarding disk space, in that case, take a look at this thread on Github https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4699

If this is the issue while installing the Docker desktop in windows

While installing docker desktop, by default WSL2 and Add shortcut to desktop is ticked or checked as shown in image

Ans:- uncheck the first configuration from the image (i.e 'Install required Windows components for WSL 2')

I am late to answer but I am able to solve this issue using simple fix. This is valid if you have recently upgraded your Windows OS to latest version.

  1. Open Windows in Safe Mode
  2. go to run and type -> RegEdit
  3. Traverse to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SysPlant
  4. Now change Start value to 4.
  5. Restart and try to install docker now.

I updated Windows 10 using Windows 10 Update Assistant, and the docker got installed.

(The update was from version 19042.1237 to 19043.1237)

Docker components require a compatibility layer for running Linux binary executables natively on Windows 10 and Windows 11.( When you opt for "install required components for WSL2" ).Try installing WSL before installing docker on your system. To install WSL and Docker, follow these steps~

  1. Right click on CMD (Command Prompt)
  2. Run as administration
  3. Enter the following command~

wsl --install 4. After completion, restart your computer 5. Try reinstalling docker

Before installing WSL, make sure your windows version is updated.

Refer this link to install WSL
