I'm working through problems with the DSX Desktop installation on Windows 7. Most installation attempts failed when the progress bar for "Checking Docker Status" hung at 10%, and after a few minutes the installation aborted silently without any message or errors.
After restarting Docker the DSX Desktop installation went a bit further, but then aborted with this error log:
Error Log

I have seen this other similar question but that is not for dsx desktop.
Update
I have just seen the following note:
If you opted not to install the Docker in the default path, append your Docker directory path to your PATH environment variable to prevent a registry logging error (you might need to temporarily disable your firewall if the problem persists).
I'll try this when I'm back at my machine and report back.
