Hello Experts,

I installed docker desktop and trying to run a test project but getting the following error from visual studio 2022:

I am able to pull the sql image from command prompt without any error.

Please let me know if my laptop is missing any settings and how to overcome this error.

Thank you

If it works with the docker client then it looks like a Visual Studio or SDK issue. You could try to report it here:

If you search for the error message, especially the part about the negative serial number, it seems it was always fixed in the SDK or tool that wanted to connect.
