It seems that version 0.13.1 will open at least attempt to read the layers of a Windows container and I sometimes get some result before it crashes. However version 0.14.0 and 0.14.1 says that it "cannot fetch image" and there is an "error during connect" and that "the network path was not found"

Frankly, Dive would be SO MUCH more useful to me with Windows containers because of how much larger these containers are. If I could see what unneeded files are being added when I install VS Build tools inside a Windows container, I could MASSIVELY improve my build times.
