Minimal PowerShell automation to install Docker Desktop on Windows (WSL2) with custom install + data-root paths so Docker/WSL data can live on a secondary drive.

What it does

• Runs the Docker Desktop installer with:
  • custom app install directory
  • custom WSL2 data root
  • custom Windows containers data root
• Auto-elevates to Administrator if needed

Quick start

1. Download the Docker Desktop installer from Docker Desktop.
2. Put the installer next to this script as Docker Desktop Installer.exe.
3. Run:

.\install-docker.ps1

Customize paths

.\install-docker.ps1 `
  -InstallDir "D:\Dev Program Files\Docker\App" `
  -WslDataRoot "D:\Dev Program Files\Docker\wsl" `
  -WindowsContainersDataRoot "D:\Dev Program Files\Docker\windows"

Requirements

• Windows 10/11
• WSL 2 enabled
