Docker installation directory

Worked for me. For my installation, I set it up as follows:

  • Main installation D:\Docker
  • WSL: D:\Docker\WSL
  • Windows Containers: D:\Docker\WindowsContainers

Using powershell with Admin privileges, I used the following command:

 Start-Process -Wait -FilePath ".\Docker Desktop Installer.exe" -ArgumentList "install -accept-license --installation-dir=D:\Docker --wsl-default-data-root=D:\Docker\WSL --windows-containers-default-data-root=D:\\Docker\\WindowsContainers"

(Note: the double backslashes are required to specify the Windows container location)
