Docker Installation Error ZIP does not exist

In this blog we will show you how to resolve docker installation error and to install docker manually.

While installing Docker in Windows Servers you may get error like “Docker-18-08-0.Zip does not exist”.

Solution:

• Verify your system Updated patch installed, if not kindly patch your machine.
• Check the name and Path of the ZIP file.

For example: C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp\DockerMsftProvider\Docker-18-09-0.zip

• Open Elevated PowerShell.
• Download the file Docker-18-08-0.zip using below command

invoke-webrequest -UseBasicparsing -Outfile docker-18-09-0.zip https://dockermsft.blob.core.windows.net/dockercontainer/docker-18-09-0.zip -verbose

• Stop the docker daemon Service or it should be erroneous, because it was deleted when Install – Package failed.

Stop-Service docker

• Skip the above step, if docker daemon Service is not installed in your machine or not started.
• Extract the downloaded docker-18-09-0.zip to C:\program Files\ using below command

Expand-Archive docker-18-09-0.zip -DestinationPath $Env:ProgramFiles -Force

• Delete the downloaded ZIP File

Remove-Item -Force docker-18-09-0.zip

• Set the Environment Variable Path for the Docker, so that we can access easily

$env:path += ";$env:ProgramFiles\docker"

$newPath = "$env:ProgramFiles\docker;" + [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)

[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", $newPath, [EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)

• Now Register Docker daemon Service to provide docker daemon service

dockerd --register-service

• Finally Start the Service

Start-Service docker
