Cause

Docker is installed and running, but "docker-compose.exe" was not placed into the "C:\Program Files\docker" folder.

Resolving The Problem

Copy "docker-compose-Windows-x86_64.1.23.2.exe" from <PAW_path>/software folder, paste it into "C:\Program Files\docker" folder, and rename it docker-compose.exe
If another version of docker-compose is needed, then it can be downloaded from https://github.com/docker/compose/releases
