claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] Fail to Fetch Latest Release from Install Script [1 comments, 1 participants]

Error Messages/Logs

1. See error from failed install. If the endpoint is failing due to load or anything else, it would be good to capture that in the catch and state it clearly in the error. Currently it just throws the error via $_ which is almost never user readable.

TL;DR

The installation script may need to be updated to handle the new prompting for -UseBasicParsing and certificate validation.

Guidance

• The error message suggests a certificate issue, which could be related to the security patch mentioned, so checking the certificate configuration and updating the script to handle it properly might be necessary.
• The script's use of Invoke-WebRequest should be reviewed to ensure it is properly configured for the new security requirements, possibly by adding the -SkipCertificateCheck parameter or configuring the certificate validation.
• To improve error handling, consider modifying the catch block to provide more user-friendly error messages instead of just throwing the error via $_.
• Verify that the issue is indeed related to the security patch and the new prompting for -UseBasicParsing by checking the PowerShell version and the script's behavior with and without the patch.

Example

# Example of using Invoke-WebRequest with certificate validation
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://downloads.claude.ai/claude-code-releases/latest" -SkipCertificateCheck

Notes

The provided information suggests a regression introduced by a security patch, but without the exact script code or more details about the certificate configuration, it's difficult to provide a definitive fix. The suggestions above are based on the error message and the mentioned security patch.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Update the installation script to handle the new security requirements, such as adding the -SkipCertificateCheck parameter or properly configuring certificate validation, to mitigate the issue until a more permanent fix is available.
