Running an exe file in windows container using docker
10,029
Found out that the exe was running fine and file was created. The way I logged in to container was wrong Use docker exec -it containername powershell
docker run -it --entrypoint powershell imagename --> Runs new instance of image not existing

I want to run an exe file on window container using Docker. My exe accepts parameters. New file gets created in predefined directory
ie:- Test.exe -f1=file1.txt -f2=file2.txt **Output** : Writing file file1.txt Successfully created file file1.txt Writing file2 file2.txt Successfully created file file2.txt Enjoy!!
My docker file looks like below
FROM microsoft/aspnet:3.5-windowsservercore-10.0.14393.1715 SHELL ["powershell", "-Command", "$ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'; $ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue';"] Copy Test.exe ./TestFolder/ WORKDIR /TestFolder ENTRYPOINT ["Test.exe"] CMD ["f1=file1.txt","f2=file2.txt"]
I build the image and run the container
docker build -t image1 . docker run -it image1
Once the container runs I get the exact above output but when I login to container machine using scripts, I don't see any file created in the predefined path. Am I missing out anything ? Is this the correct way to run exe file on windows base image?
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks
