composer create-project laravel/laravel:^9.* AppNameHere does not create folder/directory – how to fix it

I am running:
composer create-project laravel/laravel:^9.* AppNameHere
the console looks like finish successfully but there is not folder/directory created in the selected location, why?
I have re-installed multiples times composer, update it and so on, I verified the variables of the system as well, everything look fine to me but I cannot install any new project.

I ran: composer create-project laravel/laravel:^9.* AppNameHere
I was expenting to see a new folder with the Laravel9.* project in the location.
console "finish succefully" but there is not project created, the folder is missing.

    1. Check your file permissions: Make sure that you have the necessary permissions to create a new directory in the location where you’re running the composer create-project command. If you’re not sure, try running the command with administrative privileges.
    2. Check your disk space: Make sure that you have enough disk space to create a new Laravel project directory.
    3. Try a different version of Laravel: If you’re still having issues with the Laravel 9 version, try creating a project with a different version of Laravel. For example, you can try running composer create-project laravel/laravel:^8.* AppNameHere to create a Laravel 8 project.
    4. Specify a specific version of Laravel: Instead of using the ^9.* wildcard, try specifying a specific version of Laravel in the composer create-project command. For example, you can try composer create-project laravel/laravel:9.5.0 AppNameHere to create a project using Laravel 9.5.0.

    When I run composer create-project laravel/laravel:^9.* AppNameHere it literally get Could not parse version constraint ^9.*: Invalid version string "^9.*" (see attached image for more info):

    composer error

    You can even try a "semver simulator" and you can see it does not match anything, unless you change ^9.* to 9.* (remove ^).

    And most important, if you read the composer documentation (Versions and constraints), you can see that ^9.* is not valid, but 9.* is…

    Run the command as composer create-project laravel/laravel:^9 AppNameHere because ^9 means 9.0.0 <= Laravel version > 10.0.0 (it means it will look for a 9.0.0 version to 10.0.0 but not including 10.0.0 (latest 9.9.9.9.9 whatever is going to be chosen)).

    You are saying exactly that: download a version that is between 9.x but not 10.x+ => ^9.0 or ^9. You can also use 9.* (no ^) and it will mean: download any version that is 9.x.x, but always prefer ^9 instead of *.
