encountered an error during CreateContainer: failure in a Windows system call: The system cannot find the path specified.

When attempting to build a Dockerfile to download 7zip and install, the build process fails with the following error:

The command I ran to build the following Dockerfile was:

docker build -t blah/blah .

Yeah, I've never gotten any of the 7z installers or auto-extractors to work in containers. You can use the powershell module though:

Install-Package PS7Zip -Force | Out-Null

For the record, I think this is the Dockerfile that you want (it doesn't work either):

FROM microsoft/windowsservercore

SHELL ["powershell", "-Command", "$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop';"]

ADD http://www.7-zip.org/a/7z1604-x64.exe 7zip.exe

RUN Start-Process msiexec -Wait -ArgumentList @( '/i', '7zip.msi', '/quiet', '/qn', 'INSTALLLOCATION=C:\7zip', 'ADDLOCAL=all' );

Other references:

• Feature request: Publish .zip archives in addition to self-extracting 7z .exe's git-for-windows/git#986 (comment)
• moby/moby@5e19064
• https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PS7Zip/1.0.0.3

I'm closing this, please re-open if this reply doesn't get you unstuck.

how to run and view this 7zip working or not

[deeruattavar]

FROM microsoft/windowsservercore

SHELL ["powershell", "-Command", "$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop';"]

ADD http://www.7-zip.org/a/7z1604-x64.exe 7zip.exe

RUN Start-Process msiexec -Wait -ArgumentList @( '/i', '7zip.msi', '/quiet', '/qn', 'INSTALLLOCATION=C:\7zip', 'ADDLOCAL=all' );

This is working fine,it has created images and ran the container with following command "docker run -d 7zip"

But i was not able to see running container,it shows like it has create d and exited.. how to make it running and view this rinning 7zip app
