Can't install DevKinsta on Windows

Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well. I’ve been trying to install DevKinsta on Windows for the past several days but without success. Sounds like it’s not creating any files, while I’ve launched the installer with admin rights.

Version 10.0.22631 Build 22631
Microsoft Windows 11 Family
PC x64
I’ve got an antivirus but nothing is triggered during the installation. Virtualization is enabled. I’m probably missing something.

Thank you if anyone has some tips to solve this :slight_smile:

Hi @quentin.l :wave:

Welcome to the Kinsta Community!

I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing these issues. Unfortunately, Hyper-V is not available in the Microsoft Windows 11 Home/Family edition. You will need to install Devkinsta using WSL instead. Additionally, please note that Docker Desktop version 4.30 or higher has known incompatibility issues with Devkinsta running through WSL. I recommend uninstalling your current version of Docker Desktop and installing this old version, 4.25.1, instead, using the following link: https://desktop.docker.com/win/main/amd64/128006/Docker%20Desktop%20Installer.exe.

Let me know how it goes!
