Compose: Win Docker update to 18.03.0 broke docker-compose

Updating D4W to 18.03.0 broke docker-compose

The Docker for Windows application notified me of an update: 18.03.0-ce-win59 (16762)
After installing this update any docker-compose command errors out with:

Error loading Python DLL 'C:\Users\XYZ\AppData\Local\Temp\_MEI238842\python36.dll'. LoadLibrary:

I've since completely removed Docker for Windows and reinstalled 18.03.0-ce-win59 (16762).
The issue persists: docker-compose.exe will not run.

Context information (for bug reports)

• Docker Engine Version: 18.03.0-ce-win59 (16762) Stable (670d80d)
• Compose 1.20.1
• Machine 0.14.0
• Credential Helpers: 0.6.0
• Notary: 0.6.0

None of the docker-compose commands work. They all exit with a popup and the error:

Error loading Python DLL 'C:\Users\XYZ\AppData\Local\Temp\_MEI238842\python36.dll'. LoadLibrary:

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Update D4W
2. Try to run docker-compose

Additional information

• Windows 10 1703 build 15063.540

Thanks for the report!
Is Python installed on your host, and if so, which version?

[davidhund]

@shin- Thank you for your quick reply!
It's my work machine, so I cannot check a.t.m. (will double-check tomorrow morning) but I'm pretty sure it's _not_ (or not on my PATH at least: I remember trying python -V on the command line).

Update: It seems I indeedd have no Python installed on my Windows machine (apart from Python as part of other apps such as Sublime Text).

Update: I have not been able to fix this so I uninstalled 18.03.0 and re-installed 17.12.0-ce-win47 which works... (Uninstalling Docker was a hassle though, involving searching and removing all Docker entries found with RegEdit. Only then could I re-install this older version :-/)

I had similar problem.
Somehow, the TMP environment variable was set to "...\Local\TEMP;", with the semicolon.
Once I've removed it, the problem disappeared.

Had Same issue. Figure out, In my office laptop, I do not have access to execute any program in temp folder. Once redirected the temp folder location to another path where I have full access using windows environment variable, I was able to execute the docker-compose command without any issue.
