I edited hosts in %windir%system32driversetchosts and added the line:

127.0.0.1 docker.local

Now Kitematic opens w/o the error.

I'm not sure if the next problem I encounter is related. When I try to 'create' the hello-world-nginx container I get the error:

Network timed out while trying to connect to https://index.docker.io/v1/repositories/kitematic/hello-world-nginx/images. You may want to check your internet connection or if you are behind a proxy.

I'm not running behind a proxy.
Added note: I get the same type of error from powershell when I try to run hello-world

+1 - I've been seeing this issue for the last two weeks on both Win 8.1 64-bit and Win 10 64-bit using the docker toolbox installer v1.11.2.

Clicking on Use Virtualbox is the proper option.
With the release of Docker for Mac and Docker for Windows, Kitematic is biased towards those setup, instead of the old Virtualbox.

yes it works using VirtualBox

Feel free to get the current public beta of Docker for Mac and Docker for Windows:

@FrenchBen Feel free to get the current public beta of Docker for Mac and Docker for Windows: Tried to do that but I have Windows 10 x64 home, and the installer says that it won't run in home version. But I cannot upgrade to Pro because Windows won't let me, it says it cannnot do it for my edition (maybe because it was upgraded from Win8.1?) So I'm obligated to use Docker Toolbox.

Will Docker support Home in the future? Or I will have to be limited to Toolbox? Are there many downsides to use Toolbox instead of Docker? I could not find a comparative table between both that will tell me if I'm missing something critical for not being able to install Docker for Windows.

I upgraded my Home edition to Pro - just need to purchase it from the Windows Store for $99.
The integration of Docker for Windows is seamless, compared to some of the issues people have found with Virtualbox

I'm seeing this issue using Docker for Windows 1.12.0-rc4-beta19 (build 5465) on Windows 10 Pro x64

There's a bug that is currently being worked on:
https://github.com/docker/kitematic/issues/1836

FrenchBen on 21 Jul 2016

Docker supports Hyper-V in addition to VirtualBox, and for those using Hyper-V for other reasons, using a different hypervisor is not an option.

This bug is due to a recent change in Docker, you can work around the issue by adding an entry to your hosts file (%windir%driversetchosts) pointing docker.local to your loop back (127.0.0.1):

127.0.0.1 docker.local

This should work regardless of your hypervisor.
EDIT: fixed incorrect line

Same for me ... I'm using "1.12.0-rc4-beta20".

@vdillon thanks for the quick patch, but this isn't the proper fix.

The pre-release has been created and can be downloaded to verify that it's working as expected:
https://github.com/docker/kitematic/releases/tag/v0.12.0
