Description
Windows 10
Tiki version 19. installed with InnoDb.
Wamp64 ver 3.1.0,
apache 2.4.27
php 7.19

Issue: Composer setup.exe installed fine, yet tiki-admin.php?page=packages&cookietab=4

Diagnose option: Install Composer----Failed
Error
There was a problem when installing Composer.
The "https://getcomposer.org/versions" file could not be downloaded: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo
failed: No such host is known.
failed to open stream: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: No such host is known.

1. Composer downloaded and installed.
2. Logged off and log back in, to verify installation options were updated.
3. Shelled to D.O.S. and typed 'composer' and its help menu showed up immediately.
Verified PHP 7.19 was the path that would be utilized for PHP commands.
4. Verified CURL was active in the PHP extensions. Checked if 'git' was available, it wasn't.
5. Verified no proxy was running anywhere ( I don't utilize proxies, but checked just in case).
6. Ran TIKI / Diagnose/ Install composer and received the error.
7. Read information on github about the error but did not have issues relating to their troubles.
8. Backed up composer.json.dist and renamed the copy to composer.json which was
in the tiki root location.
9. Pressed the tiki install composer option, got same problem.
10. Deleted composer.json and got same problem (as if it wasn't looking for composer.json).

I was expecting that once composer was installed from Composer-Setup.exe,

the tiki / diagnose/install composer would execute the program utilizing proper install switches or at
least advise the admins that it can't be done on a local wamp64 server, or whatever the case may be.

Clarification:

As per Tiki23 it is possible to install theTiki developer release and install
Composer using the provided tools with the Tiki package.
https://doc.tiki.org/Installation#Install_Tiki

As from my tests it is possible to run setup.sh using compatible shell

application like Cygwin and Emacs.

All this setup is still a developer setup with a "manual" installation of

the last packages with Composer and not the Tiki release package
available at https://tiki.org/download that includes the required
package.

Please retest and if necessary join the Community forums or our

developer list to get help from other developers using the same setup.

For the record, we are working on a way to one day have a PHP script for the setup, and
thus cross platform to replace sh setup.sh
