Unable to run circleci local execute from windows machine 2021

[emmanuelware]

I'm trying to run a simple local job that just prints the "Hello, World".

I've followed all the setup steps and have docker installed. Both windows and linux containers, but I get the following error:

There might be a clue in the docker command:

docker run --interactive \
                  --tty \
                  --rm
                  --volume /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
                  --volume /tmp\2507096102_circleci_config.yml:/tmp/local_build_config.yml \

The docker.sock refers to a Unix socket. This is not available on windows.

This might explain the error message as well:
