Installing Composer with PHP on Windows 10 - can't find php.exe? #130

Closed jensenv closed 3 years ago

jensenv commented 3 years ago

I'm attempting to install Composer (current version) and it's reporting it can't find the php.exe. I'm on Windows 10 and have tried several different versions of PHP. Setup log attached. I'm totally new to composer, so maybe it's something I'm doing wrong. Any help appreciated.

The various php.exe files you are attempting to use do exist, but they do not run correctly (as per log):

2021-01-21 19:57:35.090   $ Running C:\Users\VERNJE~1\AppData\Local\Temp\is-IDUH2.tmp\runphp.exe C:\depot\web\server\php\7.1.32-x64\php.exe
2021-01-21 19:57:35.096   $ Error: exit code [2]
2021-01-21 19:57:35.096   $ Error: [ERR_RUN_PHP]
                          The PHP exe file you specified did not run correctly:
                          C:\depot\web\server\php\7.1.32-x64\php.exe

                          Reported error: The system cannot find the file specified

Open a command prompt and run:

C:\depot\web\server\php\7.1.32-x64\php.exe -v

This will display the PHP version info and hopefully a better error message.

@jensenv Did you ever get to the bottom of this?
