Windows: Build images with windows-host-process-containers-base-image fails with Cannot create a file when that file already exists. (0xb7): unknown

[jkroepke]

I tried to build a https://github.com/microsoft/windows-host-process-containers-base-image/ which is considered as special.

windows-host-process-containers-base-image is a very special image, because its hand-crafted image.

I'm using Github Actions to build an images on top of windows-host-process-containers-base-image

Here are the actions I'm using:

      - name: Setup containerd
        run: |
          $version = "1.7.20"
          curl.exe -L https://github.com/containerd/containerd/releases/download/v$version/containerd-$version-windows-amd64.tar.gz -o containerd.tar.gz
          tar.exe xvf containerd.tar.gz
          .\bin\containerd.exe --register-service
          Start-Service containerd
      - name: Setup BuildKit
        run: |
          $version = "v0.15.0"
          curl.exe -L https://github.com/moby/buildkit/releases/download/$version/buildkit-$version.windows-amd64.tar.gz -o buildkit.tar.gz
          tar.exe xvf buildkit.tar.gz
          
          .\bin\buildkitd.exe --register-service
          Start-Service buildkitd
      - name: Setup Docker Buildx
        run: |
          $version = "v0.16.1"
          curl.exe -L https://github.com/docker/buildx/releases/download/$version/buildx-$version.windows-amd64.exe -o $env:ProgramData\Docker\cli-plugins\docker-buildx.exe
      - uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v3
        with:
          driver: remote
          endpoint: npipe:////./pipe/buildkitd

While build looks fine, exporting the images causes unknown errors:
