self-update

Try to remove it completely and get the latest setup instead of using update? — Dora, Dec 08 '13 at 18:04
@user1850712 I've installed it 3 days ago but I think it has problem — Morteza Tourani, Dec 08 '13 at 18:11
not sure if this will help but watch this video for installing composer and laravel4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_OZA27Batc&list=PLLJSbW-UxRIzGwfnTT7GKYRfwT7hmeEFd — Dora, Dec 08 '13 at 23:11
`php composer.phar diagnose` does this command show you anything? — Dora, Dec 10 '13 at 04:35
or maybe you can post it here and see if there's any help https://github.com/composer/composer/issues?page=1&state=open good luck~ — Dora, Dec 10 '13 at 04:38

I finally find out what's the problem.
as I connecting to internet through proxy server so composer must be configured first and as iconoclast explained in PHP Composer behind http proxy I tried to add this variables to system environment path(of cource on windows):

HTTP_PROXY(value = my.proxy.address:port)
HTTPS_PROXY(value = my.proxy.address:port)
HTTP_PROXY_REQUEST_FULLURI(value = 0)
HTTPS_PROXY_REQUEST_FULLURI(value = 0)

But after setting the last 2 variable these 2 tests in composer diag encountered with errors:

Checking HTTP proxy support for request_fulluri
Checking HTTPS proxy support for request_fulluri

finally by removing them and restarting my PC all of the scenario went on as it assumed to go.;)

BTW thanks for your support

Nice job.. ...how did you figure it or out? – Dora Dec 24 '13 at 23:56
@user1850712 I checked the `composer diag` command output which shows that's a problem. – Morteza Tourani Jan 01 '14 at 14:35
