Found the following workaround to generate my project:Remove the following lines (lines 51-53) from the file composer.json in your template directory, e.g.C:\Users[… Your user here …]\AppData\Roaming\PHPMaker2022\node_modules@phpmaker\php2022\composer.json

        },
        "config": {
            "allow-plugins": true

A litte explanation:The problem is within composer. The config value “allow-plugins” defaults to null until June 30th, 2022. From today on it defaults to {} for security purposes.
See composer documentation.PHPMaker sets “allow-plugins” to true, which is a correct configuration. However this configuration is handled incorrectly by composer.
See composer issue 10907 and pull request 10909

The issue was just resolved in release 2.3.8 of composer.see https://github.com/composer/composer/releases/tag/2.3.8
