Navcontainerhelper: "Docker Service not found / Docker is not installed" after Docker Desktop Update

[nickrobbo]

Hi,

I have found an issue after updating to the latest version of docker desktop.
I am running the following version of Docker Desktop :
Version: V2.0.0.2 (30215)
Channel: Stable
Build: 0b030e1

I am running this on my Windows 10 machine. Version Details are as follows:
Version: 1809 (OS Build 17763.253)
OS: Windows 10 Pro

When running New-NavContainer, the system checks to see if docker is running using the following code:

$dockerService = (Get-Service docker -ErrorAction Ignore) if (!($dockerService)) { throw "Docker Service not found / Docker is not installed" }

It seems docker may have renamed the underlying service from "docker" to "com.docker.service".

@nickrobbo com.docker.service is used for the Docker Desktop tooling and doesn't run the Docker engine itself. If you switch to Windows Containers, the docker service should appear

@tfenster - thanks for this, rookie error! I re-installed docker through chocolately and forgot to switch to Windows Containers.
