I had this problem too. In my case, I had to build a windows iso and use the custom ISO option.

It could be that the container couldn't access the internet because the winboat_default network created within docker doesn't seem to have masquerading turned on.

Forgot to mention, in my case i used the ISO option and the iso was of Windows 11 25H2

@PuruPuru71 @callit I've submitted a pull request (removed) that addresses this issue: https://github.com/TibixDev/winboat/pull/removed What the fix includes:

Pre-installation port conflict detection - WinBoat now checks if port 3389 is in use before starting the installation Automatic xrdp detection - Identifies if xrdp is the conflicting service Resolution options - Provides clear instructions to stop xrdp or disable it during WinBoat installation Installation tools - Includes helper scripts to resolve the conflict and resume installation

EDIT: I apologize for this PR. I introduced scripts to address multiple issues I identified, but I now understand your contribution guidelines specifically prohibit adding scripts to the project. While I was trying to solve real problems, I should have reviewed your contribution policy before submitting. The approach was wrong for this project's standards. I've closed the PR and deleted the branch. I won't be introducing scripts in future contributions.
