Please let us know.
Thanks

Not sure if you are using the latest version of the windows app. Until 08/13, the latest version was 1.2.3

Today we have released the newer version 1.2.4 for windows, which is supported on both win10 and win7.

Please download and use the latest version of the app (1.2.4).

Thanks,

@thuanvan Did you get a chance to try our newer version of the app 1.2.4? Please let us know if you still have issues with the installation.

Thanks,
Sachet

@thuanvan Thank you, I have received your email and just had a quick look.

Looks like you already have the Docker software installed before using our IGC app. Having said that; If you install "Docker for Windows", that software installs a thin VM that allows you to run Linux containers, on Windows. https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install. Docker for Windows also has a beta feature that allows you to switch between "Linux" containers and "Native Windows" containers if your host supports native Windows containers

Default settings when the docker is installed on windows:
(you can find this menu when you click on the docker icon located on the right bottom of the windows desktop)

Please make sure you have the above settings right. Also, if you are running the older version of the docker software make sure you update it.

This is a great observation. We do not have an error page or instructions when the user encounters this problem. We will cover this in the next release.

For now, you can make your docker switch back to Linux containers by clicking on "Switch to Linux containers" and run the IGC app again. (Docker may ask you to restart the system for this process)

IGC can run only on "Linux container". You need to switch to Linux container in order to run the IGC app.
Linux container mode is the default settings when you install Docker on your windows.

Sorry for that. We will work on this issue and get back to you.

Thanks.

@thuanvan We'll update you when we have the newer version.
Is it possible to un-install the docker and install it again? If you do not have any other containers running.
Let me know if this works.

Can I run IGC trial on docker-toolbox and how?

@thuanvan You can run IGC Trial on docker-toolbox if you are using Windows-7 or windows-10 home
It is not possible to use docker-toolbox for IGC on latest osx and other operating systems that can support docker native app.

@thuanvan If you want to run IGC Trial app on any of the docker-toolbox supported machines (Windows-7 or windows-10 home editions), You will be taken to a page where you can download "docker-toolbox".
Once you have "docker-toolbox" installed and other pre-requisite like enabling VT-X in BIOS is done, app will proceed with the installation.

Is it asking you to download Docker.exe software(if the OS is windows 10 enterprise, pro or school edition)? That is the requirement.

Is this windows 10 pro?
As I have mentioned, You cannot use docker-toolbox to run IGC on windows-10 pro. We support only docker native on these flavours of windows-10.
You can use docker-toolbox on Windows-7 and its flavors and windows-10 home.
Docker native needs hyper-v to be enabled(Docker native installation takes care of enabling hyper-v upon restart), Docker-toolbox needs VT-X to be enabled (VT-X needs to be enabled manually in the BIOS). Enabling hyper-v/VT-X is a must to make the docker working.
