Description

I just updated Docker to the latest version (Windows 11 - WSL2) by following the update notification in the ui. Now Docker Desktop has completely disappeared from the windows app list/search. When I try to open \Program Files\Docker\Docker\Docker Desktop.exe or \Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\Docker Desktop.exe nothing happens. And when I open Docker Desktop Installer.exe in the same former directory, I get this error:

Installation failed:
empty package
at Docker.Installer.InstallWorkflow.d__23.MoveNext()

I had Docker working and updating fine for more than one year before this update and I have important data (local containers) that I don't want to lose.

Is there some known solution to fix this and get Docker back without losing the containers and their data? Thanks.

Reproduce

1. Click on the update notification in docker desktop and confirm the update
2. Wait for the installation to finish
3. Installation screen just disappear without any success or error message
4. Docker app is not available anymore and not even present in Settings -> Apps -> Installed apps

docker version

The command 'docker version' is not working anymore. I have a very basic and default installation that uses WSL2 without any custom parameter or configuration.

docker info

The command 'docker info' is not working as well.

Diagnostics ID

Can't open the app and can't run docker command line.

Update: The diagnosis ID is 52959DD5-92E6-438A-ADE7-5EFB1FDD4149/20240906123144

Additional Info

My docker usage is very basic. I either use docker run, docker-compose up, or use the ui to start/stop containers. I let all the parameters in their default state.
