If you have trouble installing Docker Desktop for Windows 10, you want to try the static command line version of Docker CE (Community Edition) as shown in this tutorial.

1. Go to https://download.docker.com/win/static/.

2. Click and open "Stable > https://download.docker.com/win/static/stable/x86_64/"

2. Click and open "Stable/x86_64/" folder.

3. Click and download "docker-17.09.0-ce.zip".

4. Unzip the downloaded package. You see two programs:

C:\fyicenter> dir docker

2017/09/27  06:53        19,868,160 docker.exe
2017/09/27  06:53        36,972,666 dockerd.exe

5. Start a command line window as an administrator. And try to run "dockerd.exe" to start the Docker Server.

C:\fyicenter> docker\dockerd.exe --version
Docker version 17.09.0-ce, build afdb6d4

C:\fyicenter> docker\dockerd.exe
WARN[...] failed to rename C:\ProgramData\docker\tmp for background deletion:
  rename C:\ProgramData\docker\tmp C:\ProgramData\docker\tmp-old:
  The system cannot find the file specified.. Deleting synchronously
INFO[...] Windows default isolation mode: hyperv
INFO[...] Loading containers: start.

INFO[...] Loading containers: done.
INFO[...] Docker daemon commit=afdb6d4 graphdriver(s)=windowsfilter version=17.09.0-ce
INFO[...] Daemon has completed initialization
INFO[...] API listen on //./pipe/docker_engine

6. Start another command line window as an administrator. and run Docker client commands"

C:\fyicenter> docker\docker.exe --version
Docker version 17.09.0-ce, build afdb6d4

C:\fyicenter> docker\docker run -d -p 80:80 docker/getting-started
Unable to find image 'docker/getting-started:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from docker/getting-started
docker\docker: no matching manifest for windows/amd64 in the manifest list entries.

C:\fyicenter> echo %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%
AMD64

Too bad. There is no Windows/AMD64 version for the "getting-started" docker.

7. Try to run the "amd64/debian" Docker.

C:\fyicenter> docker\docker run amd64/debian

Unable to find image 'amd64/debian:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from amd64/debian
docker\docker: image operating system "linux" cannot be used on this platform.
See 'docker\docker run --help'.

Too bad. "amd64/debian" is a Linux based Docker, not able to run on Windows/AMD64 host.

8. Try to run a Windows based Docker.

C:\fyicenter> docker\docker run msimons/dotnet-samples

Unable to find image 'msimons/dotnet-samples:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from msimons/dotnet-samples
...
957bf1274ced: Download complete
docker\docker: dial tcp: lookup go.microsoft.com: no such host.

Too bad. "go.microsoft.com" is not reachable.
