I am trying to upgrade to PHPMaker 2026 and I am running into an issue when I try to generate a project. The first thing to mention is I am missing the vendor folder so I am trying to use the Update Composer option when I generate the project. Here is the error.
Error: Command failed: composer update -n --no-audit --ansi
