Docker won't install-CodePudding

How do you install Docker on Windows 7?

It just throws error

I would have thought installation would be super easy on the most popular operating system... Apparently not

Manifest extraction failed: Could not find Windows Runtime type 'Windows.Data.Json.JsonObject'.

CodePudding user response：

I'm assuming you're trying to install Docker Desktop for Windows. If not I'm sorry.

But if so, I don't think Windows 7 has the Hyper-V feature available. I think for Windows 7 you're going to need Docker Toolbox. You can found the release here.

In Docker Desktop Windows Requirements it states you need:

Windows 11 64-bit: Home or Pro version 21H2 or higher, or Enterprise or Education version 21H2 or higher.
Windows 10 64-bit: Home or Pro 2004 (build 19041) or higher, or Enterprise or Education 1909 (build 18363) or higher.
