Install Fails on Windows with error "not within the allowed path" #2636
Description
I am unable to install composer on Windows using either the installer or manual installation. This is on Windows 7 (64). I'm trying to install in my development stack (WT-NMP).
With the automatic installer, the error is:
The PHP file you specified did not execute correctly: F:\WT-NMP\bin\php-5.4.24\php.exe
Running it from the command line might highlight the problem.
Use the -v switch to show the PHP version - it must be at least 5.3.2
Internal Error [ERR_STATUS], exit code 255
When I attempt to install manually, this is what happens:
F:\WT-NMP\bin\php-5.4.24>php -r "eval('?>'.file_get_contents('https://getcomposer.org/installer'));"
#!/usr/bin/env php
All settings correct for using Composer

The download failed repeatedly, aborting.
Might someone be able to tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thank you.
