Bug Description

The Windows PowerShell installer script downloads an outdated version of Claude Code (2.0.65) while the Linux installer provides version 2.0.69.

Environment

  • OS: Windows 11
  • Installation method: PowerShell installer
  • Current installed version: 2.0.65
  • Expected version: 2.0.69 (same as Linux)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run the Windows installer:

``powershell
irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex
``

  1. Check the installed version:

``cmd
claude --version
``

  1. Observe version 2.0.65 is installed

Expected Behavior

The Windows installer should install the same version (2.0.69) as the Linux installer.

Additional Context

  • claude update fails with "Another process is currently updating Claude" (stale lock)
  • claude update --force and claude install --force also fail
  • The fix for the stale lock issue is in 2.0.67, which can't be installed due to this bug
  • Workaround: Install via npm: npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@latest
