Getting this error during install - Previous install hung and then onwards it does not complete successfully. Any idea how to repair this or cleanup and restart?

Disabling the power service worked for me too.

  1. Open msconfig.exe in the windows menu bar
  2. Go to the "services" tab
  3. Start typing "power" and it will auto find the correct service.
  4. Untick the checkbox
  5. Restart your PC
  6. Make sure you do not have any Docker installation files in your drive
  7. Start the installation process again and hopefully that'll work for you
