Docker Installation process can't complete due to file being in use elsewhere

While trying to reinstall Docker for Windows, I am facing the following error -

The process cannot access the file 'C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\docker-for-win.iso' because it is being used by another process.

Is there any resolution to this issue?

The solution is Task Manager > Services, find the running docker processor, stop it and then reinstall the docker package.

My way is:

  1. open Task Manager
  2. Select tab Details
  3. Click to the title of the table. Click mouse right to open context menu. Select select columns
  4. Select to show the command line column
  5. Search the process occupied that file
  6. Kill the process It's okay with me. enter image description here

Guys I ran into same issue and I solved by disabling it from my task manager. For that open Task Manager(Ctrl+Shift+ESC) the go to services tab select open services find docker desktop service from it right click and select properties . change startup type to disable and press apply now u can delete docker folder from program files and reinstall docker .

There could be a service running with display name "Docker Desktop Service". You need to stop it.

I had the same problem. Have tried a lot of things. Thing which really helped me was this: Go to resource manager. CPU TAB. Associated handlers section. Search. Write docker. Find all files which holds your resource file and stop that process with right click. Process which holds your docker file. After start again installation... :) My installation result enter image description here

Open Hyper-V Manager => select your system name => select DockerDesktop VM under Virtual Machines => then click on Remove Server => Then restart your system.

Your ready to setup docker.
