I just finished installing Docker on my Windows 7 computer using the instructions here https://docs.docker.com/windows/step_one/ .
During the installation, I did not install Git and Virtual Box , as I already installed them on my machine. After installation, I fixed the missing bash.exe script problem and to some extent worked docker. But I cannot run the docker default hello-world command. I get the following error.
I already looked at a similar problem mentioned in SO Troubleshooting a Docker-On-Windows issue to run hello-world , but the error I get here is different. Therefore, please do not mark this as a duplicate.
