It's better to use composer

composer create-project laravel/laravel {directory} 4.2 --prefer-dist

Just open your power shell and cd to the directory you want to run the project, and run the above command, make sure you have composer first.

Download git bash 

cd /opt/lampp/htdocs

and run 

composer create-project laravel/laravel [name] 4.2.* --prefer-dist

where [name] is your projects name.

This should do the work.

composer create-project laravel/laravel {{projectName}} 4.2.* --prefer-dist

  1. Delete XAMMP and/or Homestead
  2. Install Laragon (http://laragon.org/)

This should solve the problem. Happy Programming

This works for me on top of homestead: 

$ composer create-project laravel/laravel YOURFOLDERNAME 4.2.*

Note the * for the version #.

Outputs: 

Installing laravel/laravel (v4.2.11)
  - Installing laravel/laravel (v4.2.11)
    Downloading: 100%

No that's not possible with the laravel installer. It will always get the latest release. Here's the source of the laravel new command

protected function download($zipFile)
{
    $response = \GuzzleHttp\get('http://cabinet.laravel.com/latest.zip')->getBody();
    //                                                      ^^^^^^^^^^
    file_put_contents($zipFile, $response);
    return $this;
}

What you can do is use composer create-project and specify the version:

composer create-project laravel/laravel project-name ~4.2.0 --prefer-dist

By the way ~4.2.0 means that you will get the latest version with 4.2.* (currently that's 4.2.11)

If you don't plan to create multiple 4.2 projects, you can install single one by issuing another Composer command:

composer create-project laravel/laravel foldername "4.2" --prefer-dist

where foldername is a name of folder for your project and "4.2" specifies version to install.

I tried it on my Windows 7 machine just now, it works.

P.S. Laravel documentation shows slightly different syntax:
composer create-project laravel/laravel "4.2" --prefer-dist
but this creates 5.0 installation in folder named "4.2".
