Another update has become available and once again the install hangs just after it starts with a small part of the progress bar green. The only way to install that Iāve found is to manually uninstall the software then reinstall.
sorry for the convenience.
Is one if you can show me the content of his uninstall log (in your User/AppData/Local/Docker dir, install-log-xxxx.txt, the oldest one after uninstalling the app) ?
Error 1714. The older version of Docker cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group. System Error 1612.

How is it possible that this is still an issue after a month? Can someone please release a fix for users stuck with a broken version of Docker?
EDIT: After deleting the contents of C:\Program Files\Docker and then downloading a fresh Docker MSI, then using the Remove option after it offers Repair or Remove, then finally reinstalling using that MSI, I was able to get around this issue and get the latest version of Docker installed.
Sorry for the delay. I tried to reproduce this bug without success, so I wrote a script that will be ship in the next version but as you cannot uninstall, I dump here the procedure so you can install the latest version.
Open a powershell as administrator and copy/paste this script:
Just a couple of issues with the powershell script above.
Had issues running with the -Destroy parameter but just evaluetd the functions direct to be able to invoike directly the destroy functions (Stop-MobyLinuxVM, Destroy-Switch, Destroy-MobyLinuxVM).
In your for loop you miss the (underscore) for the current object variable ($) might be related to the message board app. I see it is with the underscore in the ForceRemoveDocker.ps1 of the new release.
Still having this issue with the last update for Windows and weāre just a few days away from 2017. Sure feels like beta to me. I canāt update it, I canāt uninstall it, and the script doesnāt work for me (even with the edits the others offered). Canāt think of another piece of software where the uninstaller failed on me for some years now. Really, really disappointing effort from Docker. As much as Iād love to upload some log files and such I think Iāll just abstain and wait until this thing is fully baked. Can someone let me know when that happens?
Ok, so I have a bit of an update in dealing with this.
Through this post, and the discovery of the ForceRemoveDocker.ps1 PowerShell script (by default, āC:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\ForceRemoveDocker.ps1ā in Docker for Windows 1.13+ I believe), I was able to work through an issue with configuring Docker for Windows over top of a previous installation of Docker and VirtualBox.
I was also unable to reinstall Docker (Community Edition) for Windows. I tried all the suggested PowerShell scripts suggested, but without success. The error message I got when installing āStableā and āEdgeā was not the same, and that helped me find this solution (a registry fix): https://success.docker.com/KBase/Docker.For.Win_-_Install_fails_on_installationmanifest.json
