@dynamiccontent we haven't run any tests on PHP 8.2, try switching to 8.1 instead?

[merodeador]

I've just had this error. Both the web installer and the install.log look the same but the 'invalid' version is "6.3.x-dev 2e2ac75". The installed PHP version is 8.1.10, mySQL 8.0.30 on a windows 10 machine running Laragon.

Installing via composer worked just fine.

[bennothommo]

@merodeador if you try the Web Installer again and hit this same issue, could you look in the folder that you ran the installation from - there should be a hidden .wintercms folder that contains the partial install. Would you be able to copy the contents of composer.json into here for us?

[merodeador]

Sure, here it is:

Thanks everyone - I've been able to replicate this. Will have a fix out soon.

[bennothommo]

Hi all, I've released v1.2.2 of our Web Installer, which now contains a fix for this issue. Here's the direct link to the fixed version: https://github.com/wintercms/web-installer/releases/download/v1.2.2/install.zip

Please feel free to let us know if this still doesn't work, and we'll re-open the issue.

[merodeador]

Just tried this, works perfectly. Thanks!
