title: How to install applications on a windows docker container?
body: <p>I'm trying to create a <strong>Docker container</strong> based on the <em>abrarov/msvc-2019</em> (<strong>windows based</strong>) image and I need to install additional programs such as <strong>Conan</strong>.</p>
  <p>In the <strong>Dockerfile</strong>, what do I need to write in it to be able to install <strong>Conan</strong>? I can't just use something like &quot;apt install&quot; since Windows doesn't support anything of the sort.  I can't find anything online about this.</p>
  <p>I tried downloading the .exe installer locally and copy it inside the container, and then run the .exe during the building of the image. Something like this :</p>
  <pre><code>COPY conan-win-32_1_33_0.exe C:\\
  RUN conan-win-32_1_33_0.exe;
  </code></pre>
  <p>But the image doesn't finish building and it's just stuck in the RUN part.</p>
