Preflight Checklist

  • [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

I have executed this command in a PowerShell session.
irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex

Setting up Claude Code...

√ Claude Code successfully installed!

Version: 2.0.67

Location: C:\Users\DanyM\.local\bin\claude.exe

Next: Run claude --help to get started

‼ Setup notes:
• installMethod is native, but claude command not found at C:\Users\DanyM\.local\bin\claude.exe

✅ Installation complete!

The URL specified in the installation script is https://storage.googleapis.com/claude-code-dist-86c565f3-f756-42ad-8dfa-d59b1c096819/claude-code-releases

When going to that URL I receive following message:
<Error>
<Code>NoSuchKey</Code>
<Message>The specified key does not exist.</Message>
<Details>No such object: claude-code-dist-86c565f3-f756-42ad-8dfa-d59b1c096819/claude-code-releases</Details>
</Error>

This is the reason why claude.exe isn't downloaded.

What Should Happen?

The installation script must use a URL from which the claude.exe can be downloaded.

Steps to Reproduce

Use these commands in a PowerShell session:

Get-ChildItem "$env:USERPROFILE\.local\bin"

You will see nothing, so the claude.exe isn't downloaded.
