Installing ghostscript within Windows container is failing

Question

I am using below dockerfile content to install ghostscript within my windows container

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2019

ADD https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/ghostpdl-downloads/releases/download/gs952/gs952w64.exe . 

RUN C:\gs952w64.exe /S /NCRC

CMD ["cmd.exe"]

But this is failing with following error:

The command 'cmd /S /C C:\tmp\gs952w64.exe /S /NCRC' returned a
non-zero code: 3221225785

I am able to do silent installation of ghostscript with this command in my local machine: C:\gs952w64.exe /S /NCRC
but not sure why it is failing in container.

I tried shared solution from here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62389316/installing-ghostscript-in-docker-windows-image-returned-a-non-zero-code-1
but I got same error here as well.

Chocolatey installed 2/3 packages. 1 packages failed. See the log for
details (C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\logs\chocolatey.log).

Failures

• ghostscript.app (exited -1073741511) - Error while running 'C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\Ghostscript.app\tools\ChocolateyInstall.ps1'.
  See log for details. The command 'cmd /S /C choco install --yes
  ghostscript --version=9.52 ;' returned a non-zero code: 3221225785

Can anyone help me on this?

Hi ,

Our forum mainly focus on container cannot start or pulling container image related issue. For how to install Ghostscript in windows container, this is beyond our forum support range.

Let's appreciate that the other members in our forum can share their experience with us about this scenario.
