Unable to get the Docker Desktop for windows installed.

• I have uploaded Diagnostics

Actual behavior

Getting 'Installation canceled' in the GUI

Expected behavior

Successful installation

• Windows Version: 10
• Docker Desktop Version: 4.12.0
• Are you running inside a virtualized Windows e.g. on a cloud server or a VM: No

This worked for me. If fixes corrupted WMI repositories.

Put this script into a .bat file. Run it as administrator.
Restart Windows
Reinstall Docker

echo on
cd /d c:\temp
if not exist %windir%\system32\wbem goto TryInstall
cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem
net stop winmgmt
winmgmt /kill
if exist Rep_bak rd Rep_bak /s /q
rename Repository Rep_bak
for %%i in (.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %%i
for %%i in (.exe) do call :FixSrv %%i
for %%i in (*.mof,$.mfl) do Mofcomp -s %%i
net start winmgmt
goto End

:FixSrv
if /I (%1) == (wbemcntl.exe) goto SkipSrv
if /I (%1) == (wbemtest.exe) goto SkipSrv
if /I (%1) == (mofcomp.exe) goto SkipSrv

:SkipSrv
goto End

:TryInstall
if not exist wmicore.exe goto End
wmicore /s
net start winmgmt

:End

I had the same problem as you after trying to update from 4.11.1 to 4.12.0. I noticed my docker was removed and not installed again, so I tried to install it manually, but without success. I found some tutorials to check my WMI repositories health (basically, what @CyberCyclistMSN recommended), but it was consistent. What really solved my problem was to run a chkdsk /R to check and fix my os partition.
