Heiya Jongfeli,

first of all thank you for taking the time to create and test the way how to do this on Windows! I have not objections to move it to the Help namespace.

Re 1a) It appears that one does not need to use the particles  and   in any case on Windows. That makes thinks a bit easier over there.

Re 1b) Well I have no idea why you do not need the Extension Installer extension on Windows. Perhaps Windows picks automatically the "composer.json" it finds anywhere. The question is in which folder the installed files end up. Autoloading takes care of the invocation but when adding more extensions there may be a problem. However, I cannot tell.

Re 2) Well, adding the compat information semantically on this wiki should probably be done. This would save us from uploading a new screenshot once in a while and we would get a complete list of all versions over time and not just the ones in the screenshot. Additionally we could just query for a specific version on help installation. I still find adding compat information about old releases is confusing so I would not like to insert the screenshot as is.

Re 3) Somewhere I read that it is possible to do so using some option to the require command, but I am not sure. I am new to Composer too so I am still on some sort of a learning curve. So and so I think it is much easier if you have Git installed in any case. However, I am not saying the it is easy to install Git in some environments because I simply do not know. ;)

Cheers
