'Docker Desktop - unable to install (Windows 11)

I have been running Docker for the past 1 year on my work laptop. I recently started receiving requests to update the version. Ever since then, my Docker Desktop installer has been failing. Please keep in mind that I have already tried the following and it hasn't worked:

  • Ensured that Docker desktop has been completely uninstalled on my work device
  • Tried installing the previous docker desktop versions that were working
  • Unchecked the box to install the required modules for wsl (tried it with and without)

Here is the error I receive:

Component CommunityInstaller.ExecAction failed: Process InstallerCli.exe exited with code 1 at CommunityInstaller.InstallWorkflow.d__30.MoveNext() --- End of stack trace from previous location where exception was thrown --- at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw() at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task) at CommunityInstaller.InstallWorkflow.d__24.MoveNext()

Any suggestions on why this is happening and how to resolve it?

Thanks in advance.

Deleted the folders:

C:\ProgramData\Docker (if you cant, rename the folder) C:\Program Files\Docker After this, docker 4.6.0 was installed successfully.
