Windows 10: Error '0x80073701' while trying to install Containers Windows feature

Dear Community,


I'm facing an issue trying to install Windows Docker, more specifically its containers feature, to a Windows 2016 server.

I tried installing Docker using the following set of commands on Powershell ran as Admin:


Install-Module DockerMsftProvider -Force

cd C:\Users\s7qzqx\AppData\Local\Temp\DockerMsftProvider
Start-BitsTransfer -Source https://dockermsft.blob.core.windows.net/dockercontainer/docker-19-03-5.zip -Destination docker-19-03-5.zip
Get-FileHash -Path docker-19-03-5.zip -Algorithm SHA256
Install-Package -Name docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider -Verbose


And then restarting the server. The reason why I used the 3 commands in the middle is because the package couldn't be found and therefore installed.

Anyway, that seemed to work and I'm now able to check Docker version using 'docker --version' command.


The only thing that failed is adding the containers feature, which gives the following error:





The same error happens even after restarting the machine and running this command: 'Install-WindowsFeature -Name Containers'.


I found online that it might have to do with some registry entries in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing\PackageDetect" that were created and orphaned and that the solution would be to delete them, but personally I'm afraid to delete Windows registry entries without fully knowing what I'm doing.


Do you know if there's a precise way to know what to delete and what to not touch, or if there's any other solution/workaround to fix this error and complete Docker's installation?


Thanks a lot in advance,

Nicolò

Error while trying to install Windows 7 RC

One article on the net suggested that the HD containing the existing Windows XP installation that I don't want to touch, should be unplugged while installing windows Vista. I've extrapolated from that that doing the same for Windows 7 RC might work.

My only issue with that is that my existing Windows XP is installed on a MOBO RAID 1. If I unplug both RAID 1 disks, and reboot the system, will that cause the RAID configuration to be lost? Will my Windows XP still exist and be accessible once I plug the drives back in? (assuming that I plug the drives into the same ports that they were originally in)
