Kitematic: Unable to create hello-world-nginx container

[sguergachi]

Expected behavior

I expect there to be no errors when I create the hello-world-nginx container

Actual behavior

I get this error:
failed to register layer: re-exec error: exit status 1: output: ProcessBaseLayer C:\ProgramData\Docker\windowsfilter\e3aa1900af2570a1cd0f895be0fd2e2aca16087041191013ba779d9dc3de84d1: The system cannot find the path specified.

Information about the Issue

Using Windows containers on the latest version of Docker for Windows and latest version of Kitematic.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Click Create button on hello-world-nginx
2. See error after a while of it trying to download and create the container.

What do you get if you do:
docker run --rm -it -P kitematic/hello-world-nginx from PowerShell?

[sguergachi]

I get C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\Resources\bin\docker.exe: failed to register layer: re-exec error: exit status 1: output: ProcessBaseLayer C:\ProgramData\Docker\windowsfilter\18c6bcaada584352cbbf4d74e020444f63afef2ffc64314bf587c00eb6a04695: The system cannot find the path specified..

When I switch to Linux Containers it works. I guess this is a Docker for Windows specific issue?

[joejordan]

@sguergachi I also stumbled on this when first getting started with Docker on Windows. That particular container is Linux-based.

[sguergachi]

Perhaps a solution would be for the UI to reflect which container is windows/Linux based. Or even better: filter out containers that aren't compatible from view.

@sguergachi There is some thoughts in the works as to how we can reliably do this.
Feel free to open a new issue as a proposal to how Kitematic should handle it.
