Unable to download any image in Windows16 docker

I have been experimenting with docker the aim is

  1. Install docker on windows 16 for which I am following instructions from https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/windowscontainers/quick_start/quick_start_windows_server

everything looks fine till installation of the docker , after that when I try to test the docker it give

below error.

failed to register layer: re-exec error: exit status 1: output: ProcessBaseLayer C:\ProgramData\docker\windowsfilter\0c9 effd422805350acb1f051eb171399678aff003192c41be274acc4762b786c: The system cannot find the path specified.

here I am just trying to pull "hello-world" from docker hub

My ultimate aim is to run IIS on docker container and deploy the application running on IIS.

Had anyone faced such issue or could come up with any suggestions

its VM machine with

OS :- Win2016 HDD :- 50GB RAM :- 4GB

You can't pull the hello-world image from docker hub because it's linux image. I used to see it before while playing with Docker Container on windows when trying to do the same thing.
If you want to get different image like IIS, just run command follow the instructions:
First:

Install-PackageProvider ContainerImage -Force

Then

Install-ContainerImage -Name WindowsServerCore

After that, restart your docker container with

Restart-Service docker

And you'll have the images of IIS on your machine. I've tried to get the images of windows as the way we do in Linux but it always throw error as you have, I guess that all images we have on hub now are for Linux only, so if you want to have particular things, you must build it by yourselves or using existed images for Windows on Docker hub (about 9 or 10 images as I remember).

This is probably because there's no hello-world image for Windows. You can try running docker run windowsservercore cmd /C hello world.
