Error starting Kitematic using the app.asar file shipped with the InstallDocker.msi

[jwschram]

Expected Behaviour

Expected Kitematic to load after install. It was installed by default using the InstallDocker.msi file outside of the Docker Toolkit for windows.

Actual Behaviour

Kitematic failed to load on startup. Prompted to use VirtualBox and then failed. When I replaced the app.asar file in the default install with the app.asar file from the version of Kitematic that ships with the Docker Toolkit the program ran and functioned properly.

Information about the Issue

Using Win 10 x64, all prerequisites were installed. I discovered the difference by installing the Docker Toolkit and then diff'ing the directories for the 2 versions. That said the version numbers of both builds are identical despite having a different payload.

Docker Install: version installed Docker Toolkit: version installed

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Check the app.asar files from the 2 linked packages above. If the differences are the result of the beta vs. stable channel then consider pushing some or all of the beta changes into the stable package.

@jangajack A new version of Kitematic should be cut next weel, which will hopefully solve this issue. Toolbox and Docker for Windows use essentially the same Kitematic, but one installs it in a desired location the later only provides you with a zip. An on-going discussion exists to include Kitematic as part of the InstallDocker.msi.

I'll keep this issue open until a new version is release, at which point I'll ping you to get some feedback, if that's ok?
