Invoke-WebRequest -OutFile docker-19.03.12.zip https://dockermsft.azureedge.net/dockercontainer/docker-19-03-12.zip

If you need to download a specific Docker EE Engine release, all URLs can be found on this JSON index

https://dockermsft.blob.core.windows.net/dockercontainer/DockerMsftIndex.json

Stop Docker service if eralier version of Docker is already installed

Stop-Service docker

Expand-Archive docker-19.03.12.zip -DestinationPath $Env:ProgramFiles -Force

Clean up the zip file

Remove-Item -Force docker-19.03.12.zip

Install Docker. This requires rebooting

$null = Install-WindowsFeature containers
Restart-Computer -Force

Add Docker to the path for the current session

$env:path += ";$env:ProgramFiles\docker"

Optionally, modify PATH to persist across sessions

$newPath = "$env:ProgramFiles\docker;" +
[Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH",
[EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", $newPath,
[EnvironmentVariableTarget]::Machine)

Register the Docker daemon as a service
