Docker gone if problem during update occurs

[nphmuller]

Today Docker tried to install the latest version (17.11.0-ce-rc3), but during the update the installer notified me that docker-for-win.iso is in use, which made the installation fail.

No problem, I would just restart later that day and re-run the updater. The problem was however that the current Docker installation was gone. So I had to re-download the installer and reinstall docker manually after rebooting.

Expected behavior

If the update fails, the current Docker installation should still work.

Actual behavior

If the update fails, the current Docker installation is gone.

Information

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Install outdated version of Docker.
2. Make sure a file of the installer is in use (for example docker-for-win.iso.
3. Let Docker install the update.

I can see the same if I have docker-compose exec <target service> bash open in terminal during Docker for Windows update. It gives error message about not able to access files and Docker for Windows installation is gone. Need to separately install Docker for Windows (after stopping docker-compose exec).
