Docker Installation on windows server 2016

General
1

Hello,

I have successfully installed Docker in my windows server 2016 after too much trial and run method.

To have a clear idea of installation, I am trying to install docker in another server with a similar configuration.

I am noticing that when docker is installed in my working server I see a docker folder inside my docker folder with all docker CLI which I am not able to replicate in the new server

I am using the below commands from Powershell in administrator mode but still, docker is not successfully installed. I cannot see the docker folder inside the docker folder with docker CLI exe files.
