Docker won't install

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'.

For Windows users. Step 1:Download and install Wise JetSearch. Step 2: Search this "\AppData\Roaming\Docker" on your wise JetSearch search bar. Step 3: Right-click on any file you see, then click open folder. Step 4: Look at your address bar on top and click Roaming. Your address bar should look like this: [1]: https://i.sstatic.net/1Ia3A.png [Address to Docker files location][1] Step 5: Delete the Docker and Docker Desktop folders.

Then you are done. Try installing Docker again. Thank you for reading

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.
