Cakephp 4 Windows Installation Issues

Question

I am running into composer/installation errrors on wamp64 setup on Windows 10... had this working previously on older app but now starting new app on 4.0.3 and running into dependency issues

Below is output - Any thoughts on why it's not finding any matching packages? the "myapp" folder is created and cakephp source is copied but then a number of dependencies show "no matching package found"

Can these packages be ignored? some, such as migrations fall under "require" in the composer.json I have tried both the below command and composer create-project --prefer-dist "cakephp/app:^4.0" myapp

C:\wamp64\www>composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app myapp

Potential causes:
 - A typo in the package name
 - The package is not available in a stable-enough version according to your minimum-stability setting
   see <https://getcomposer.org/doc/04-schema.md#minimum-stability> for more details.
 - It's a private package and you forgot to add a custom repository to find it

Read <https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md> for further common problems.

This [**should be fixed now**](https://github.com/cakephp/migrations/issues/448), please try again. — ndm, Apr 14 '20 at 08:44
@ndm,. thanks this worked now... I get error in the post-install scripts but imagine that is not a show stopper as it has to do with file permissions? > App\Console\Installer::postInstall Created `config/app_local.php` file Created `G:\Websites\www\myapp/logs` directory Created `G:\Websites\www\myapp/tmp/cache/views` directory Set Folder Permissions ?

updated original question with the message formatted for easier reading — mk97, Apr 14 '20 at 16:05
It's not only permissions, it's local application config creation, logs and temp folder creation, folder permissions, and security salt generation. To figure where exactly things go wrong, run the install command (or project creation command if you want to start from scratch) in verbose mode (add `-v`) to see a stacktrace for the error: `composer install -v`. — ndm, Apr 14 '20 at 16:28
Not sure I follow what's happening, The composer install not allowing reponse to "Set Folder Permissions ? " question, simply throws the exception. This was working when I installed for 4.0.1 back in January on same setup (wamp64 running php 7.4) — mk97, Apr 14 '20 at 17:53
OK found the issue.. Turns out there's a bug w/ stdin for php 7.4.0 which I was using.. [composer issue log](https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/8457) and also another on [stackoverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59092779/has-php-7-4-broken-fgetsstdin). Reverting to php 7.3.12 and composer installer goes through w/o issue. I must have built my last project on 7.3.12. Thx for help — mk97, Apr 14 '20 at 19:38

Installation issues turned out to be combination of things. First appears to be a reference to old package in cakephp's composer.json as noted by ndm here

second issue was due to issue with php 7.4.0 and the STNDIN not allowing for a response and throwing exception from composer as noted here and on stack overflow

Thanks for comments to help troubleshoot.
