Create an image (Dockerfile) to install MS Project in windows container

Question

I need to install MS Project in docker container, my OS is windows 10 and I'm using docker desktop for windows, I appreciate any help. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Docker has been created to run server processes. MS Project is designed to be a desktop application. I guess the biggest problem you may be facing is that a docker background process will not have access to the user's desktop. This is just similar to services which usually cannot get interactive with users.

Despite that packaging desktop application is reasonable. On Linux there exists https://appimage.org/ .

Unfortunately I am not aware how to get around the problem on Windows.
