Hyper-V problems when wanting to run Docker from a macOS VM with VMWare Workstation 12 Player


I am currently attempting to run a macOS High Sierra VM on my Windows 10 laptop using VMWare Workstation 12 Player.

To make the VM work, it says I must disable Hyper-V - Upon disabling, the VM does indeed work.

However, when I want to run Docker on my macOSHS VM, it gives the error:

VMWare Error

There is also a link to a page telling one how to work with Hyper-V and that it should be re-toggled to work, along with some CMD code that I can't seem to get to work...

When I turn off Hyper-V the VM starts as normal, but when I try to install/run Docker on there... I am greeted with:

Has anybody run into this problem before?


Solution
