Error installing Docker on Windows server

I created a new virtual machine on Windows Server 2019, tried to install Docker and got this error. What could be the problem?

Docker Desktop 3.1.0
Installation failed

Component CommunityInstaller.ServiceAction failed: Failed to start service
   CommunityInstaller.InstallWorkflow.<DoHandleD4WPackageAsync>d__29.MoveNext()
   System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw()
   System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task)
   CommunityInstaller.InstallWorkflow.<DoProcessAsync>d__23.MoveNext()
Solution

  • The problem could not be solved by installing docker via the distro, but in the end managed to install docker via the command shell

    Install-Module -Name DockerMsftProvider -Repository PSGallery -Force
