I have NP AV antivirus and it gives me warning like C:\\PROGRAM FILES\\Docker\\RES...\\bin\\DOCKER_COMPOSE.EXE is a threat after aborting the installation

Answer 1

It can depend on your Windows version (type winver in a CMD)

With 1903, there are reports of freeze or BSOD, with docker/for-win/issue 3815 .

The main issue regarding the installation is docker/for-win/issue 1172 ,

This assumes that you have Windows Pro at least, with Hyper-V activated (and possibly the antivirus off during installation).

This thread includes:

Adding the downloaded installer .exe file to the Controlled Folder Access allowed apps list fixed the problem for me.

Start | Settings | and click on Controlled Folder Access

T hen click on “ Allow an app through Controlled folder access ”
Click on the big + beside “ Add an allowed app ” and choose Recently Blocked Apps .
Then you can choose the " Docker for Windows Installer.exe ".
Re-run the installer as admin and it works.
