Comment (by bgoewert):

 @ashokrd2013 It seems that this is a configuration issue, not an issue
 with wordpress-develop and would have been better posted to
 [https://wordpress.org/support wordpress.org/support]. But I don't mind to
 help out here.

 **Questions**

 1. Are you using WSL2 or Hyper-V backend?
 1. Is your user a local admin and/or in the `docker-users` group?
   - You can check it by using `net localgroup docker-users`
   - If not, you can add it with `net localgroup docker-users <user> /add`
 1. Are you using WAMP? `D:\wamp64\www\` I noticed this in your path and it
 may be causing permission issues (idk, I don't use wamp or xampp so I
 don't know how the permissions work for them). However, I imagine it would
 still work if your user was a local admin.
  - Just for testing purposes, try cloning [https://githb.com/WordPress
 /wordpress-develop wordpress-develop] into a different directory on your
 `C:\` drive.

 **Steps I just tested again, without issue**

 1. Clone [https://githb.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop wordpress-develop]
 1. `cd wordpress-develop`
 1. `npm install`
 1. `npm run env:reset`
 1. `npm build:dev`
 1. `npm run env:start`
 1. Navigate to [http://localhost:8889 localhost:8889], notice that I am
 redirected to `/wp-admin/install.php`.
 1. `npm run env:install`
 1. Navigate to [http://localhost:8889/wp-admin/install.php localhost:8889
 /wp-admin/install.php], notice it says "Already Installed".
