Unable to install bluemix container CLI (cf ic) under Windows 10

My environment:

I typed this command cf install-plugin https://static-ice.ng.bluemix.net/ibm-containers-windows_x64.exe under both CMD and Boot2Docker VM in order to install cf ic plugin, which is mentioned in the official guide. The result is "exit status 2".

Output:

Attempting to download binary file from internet address...  
10325504 bytes downloaded...  
Installing plugin C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\Temp\
ibm-containers-windows_x64.exe... 
FAILED exit status 2

What is "exit status 2" any way? I have found a section that mentions "exit status 1" in the troubleshooting document. However, there is no information about "exit status 1".

I installed all the programs using the default settings and the cf ic plugin did not install properly.

How to fix this problem?
