Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Uninstalled Docker for Windows
  2. Restarted PC
  3. Installed Docker for Windows (tried both 1.12.0-rc2 & 1.12.0-rc3)
  4. Upon startup, the above error is returned

Used a registry cleaner & deleted orphan files but made no change.

It turns out that I had two entries in my Hyper-V Manager (virtmgmt.msc)

I deleted the two entries and deleted the existing ISO from that folder

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks\MobyLinuxVM.vhdx

It now installed correctly.

I had the same behavior.

Removing one of the entries in Hyper-V manager let docker start again.

@abowen @murven I just wanted to follow up on this - was this because you already had a MobyLinux virtual machine in hyper-v manager, or you had two?

I installed Docker.
I checked Hyper-V and there was one VM.
A couple of days later an update was released.
I installed the update.
Docker stopped working after the next computer restart.
I checked Hyper-V and there were two VMs with the same name.
I deleted one of them.
Docker started working again.

I hope this is helpful.

It had listed two in my case.

Hi all, I had the same issue, there was like 5 MobyLinux VMs, dont know why, I didnt install any new version, maybe a Windows update?

Deleting 4 of them make it work, thanks!

It still appears to throw the same error, after deleting the existing .vhdx file and VM from Hyper-V Manager.
