### Error Installing Wordpress for test website. File not found Here i link a screenshot of the error and down below the detailed logs ![Screenshot 2024-04-18 150823](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/3X/8/9/899299147fc69ba4ba04ecd6a1ed617c44f6f2f6.png) I already tried downgrading my version from the latest 9.0.1 to the 9.0.0 Beta and even the version 8.3.2. I tried on different computers, my pc and my laptop both with pretty new processor and with the same version of windows. I also tried to repair and reinstall both the x86 and x64 version of the VCC redistributable. And i also tried to create the website using both the reccommended php version, And a custom install first using the latest php version and then the very first supported by Local I always receive this error, at this point i have no idea what to do or what file i am missing since i checked both the directories listed in the error message, the only thing that comes to my mind is that for some reason it doesn`t install the 64 bit version of the wp-cli (if there even is one) ![Screenshot 2024-04-18 152749](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/lwpforums/original/3X/c/f/cf8e7629dbb75d820f0c0c35718a58889a8c87cc.png) * * * ### System Details - **Local Version:** 9.0.1 - **Operating System (OS) and OS version:** Windows 11 Pro 23H2 * * * ### Local Logs Non-Verbose Logs: [local-lightning.log](https://community.localwp.com/uploads/short-url/gpHZcDuWzjXdTJAj9SpH45hwTcA.log) (6.4 KB) Verbose Logs: [local-lightning-verbose.log](https://community.localwp.com/uploads/short-url/tVNLouk6WjU4wc0S5VPX8HHCR8u.log) (27.3 KB) ---

I fixed the issue, apparently some of the numbers or special charaters of my admin password ruined the installation command. As someone that creates a website my admin password should be complicated and it should include numbers and special characters , i really hope you guys can fix this underlining issue. ---

Hi @Just_Mark Thank you for updating the thread we’re glad you were able to get things squared away for now! For transparency, this is a known issue for Windows users at this time. More details here: > [@Special characters not supported on Windows username/password](https://community.localwp.com/t/unable-to-provision-site-due-to-special-characters-in-windows-username/14419): > > Moderator Note: Known Bug Summary Thank you everyone who has chimed in and helps clarify this issue!

Usernames that have an apostrophe in them should be fixed, so update to the most recent version of Local if the username has an apostrophe in it. Read on for what you can do if the userna… ---
