Properties.Settings Issue with running app in windows container on windows

Docker Desktop for Windows
1

hi.
I’m working on converting a windows service to run in a docker container.
this is a windows service that can also be run as a console app
one issue I can’t seem to find a way around is with a Properties.Settings file.
I keep running into this error:
> Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED)) System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8000FFFF): Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))

Docker file:

FROM microsoft/aspnet:4.7.2-windowsservercore-1803
SHELL [“powershell”, “-Command”, “$ErrorActionPreference = ‘Stop’; $ProgressPreference = ‘SilentlyContinue’;”]
RUN powershell -NoProfile -Command New-Item -ItemType directory -Path C:\logs
RUN powershell -NoProfile -Command New-Item -ItemType directory -Path C:\MyService

WORKDIR /MyService
COPY ./bin/Release/ /MyService
EntryPoint ./MyService.exe “CONSOLE”

I’ve verified that the service runs correctly locall, and where it is installed on a regular server.
As far as I have been able to tell, the error may be due to it trying to access a location for a User config, and can’t.
does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? (other than re-writing the service to not use Properties.Settings?
I’m also exploring actually installing the service in the container, and running it that way.
