@aevesdocker I’d love guidance here not just on the wording but also on where to add this exactly, and if we need to mention it in all versions until we fix it?

👋 @mat007

I think having it under each entry like you do is the best way forward. What's the timeline on a new fix?

Lets adjust the wording to: 'The Windows MSI installer cannot update an existing Docker Desktop installation when the current version is 4.59 or later. As a workaround, uninstall the existing version before reinstalling. Note that uninstalling removes all associated data. A fix will be provided in a future MSI release.'

Does it also mean developers don't get release notifications?

We’re thinking 4.66 (March 23).

The notification behaviour shouldn’t change. But there is no in-app updates with MSI-based installations anyway.

Ok cool, repeating it until then will be fine 👍

Acknowledge MSI bug
