Platform

Windows

Operating system version

Win 11

System architecture

Intel (x86)

Herd Version

1.24.0

PHP Version

PHP 8.5.1

Bug description

There are two issues, I have combined them for clarity:

ISSUE 1: Сan not install new Reverb with 8.5
See Log output for detailed issue.

ISSUE 2: Reverb Service always work under PHP 8.5 regardless of Global PHP setting
Switched Global PHP version in Herd to 8.4, but Reverb still work under 8.5.
When Herd Global PHP is switched I see correct PHP version via Command Line or Powershell:

echo "PHP: ". PHP_VERSION . PHP_EOL;
echo shell_exec('where php 2>&1');

• calling php C:\***\Startkit\test.php gets the correct set Global version
• where php returns the same path everywhere C:\Users\***\.config\herd\bin\php.bat

But when checking Reverb Service in Herb I see this in the log:

PHP: 8.5.1
C:\Users\***\.config\herd\bin\php.bat

contents of php.bat

@echo off
"C:\Users\***\.config\herd\bin\php84\php.exe" %*

// changes correctly based on global PHP version

I assume just updating the project should fix the issue.

Steps to reproduce

Installing or working with Reverb and PHP 8.5 does not work.

Is there a way to work around this, or any update on the horizon? This is failing even if we set 8.4 as the "global" PHP for Herd, it still uses PHP 8.5 to unpack this, and fails.
