Hi Team - I saw some mention of this in the comment history but wanted to try to get some clarity - I noticed when attempting a Windows MSI install today that there were Docker errors. We installed Docker and this resolved the issue, but why is Docker required for this installation to work properly?

Was that when generating the package?

It is, yes.
Sorry, I misstated that, the MSI package generation process, not the install.

Great, just wanted to make sure.
Installer generation for Windows is a bit finicky. WIx handles the actual MSI creation inside of a Docker container.

Ah, ok. So after the package generation Docker could be removed?
