panic: reflect: indirection through nil pointer to embedded struct when execute -SwitchDaemon during Packer run

[nbdinara]

Description

I am trying to provision image for VM using Packer.
I install Docker during Packer run.
I want to switch daemon to windows and I get the error bellow.
I check in my code that Docker is installed and is running prior to switch to windows daemon. Both checks successful.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

This is how I check that Docker is running:

    $endTime = (Get-Date).AddSeconds($TimeoutInSeconds)
    do {
        $dockerdProcess = Get-Process dockerd -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
        $dockerComService = Get-Process 'com.docker.service' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
        $dockerService = Get-Service -Name Docker -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Where-Object Status -eq 'Running'
        if(!$dockerdProcess -and !$dockerComService -and !$dockerService) {
            Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 500
        }
    } while($null -eq $dockerdProcess -and $null -eq $dockerComService -and $null -eq $dockerService -and ($endTime -gt (Get-Date)))

This is code that I execute to switch to windows Docker daemon:

    $dockerCli = Join-Path -Path $env:ProgramFiles -ChildPath 'Docker\Docker\DockerCli.exe'
    if(!(Test-Path -Path $dockerCli)) {
        throw "DockerCli not found: $dockerCli"
    }
    $dockerCliArgs = @('-SwitchDaemon')
    $dockerCliProcess = Start-Process -FilePath $dockerCli -ArgumentList $dockerCliArgs -PassThru -NoNewWindow -Wait -ErrorAction Stop
    if($dockerCliProcess.ExitCode -ne 0) {
        throw "Failed to switch Docker daemon. Exit Code: $($dockerCliProcess.ExitCode)"
    }

Error that I got after trying to switch to windows Docker daemon:
