parse error in the composer.phar file

I was using Composer perfectly, but now when a try any command I got this error:

[Seld\JsonLint\ParsingException]
"C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin\composer.phar" does not contain valid JSON
Parse error on line 1:
#!/usr/bin/env php<
^
Expected one of: 'STRING', 'NUMBER', 'NULL', 'TRUE', 'FALSE', '{', '['

I already tried reinstall Composer, but nothing changes. Any idea??

I had this issue and it took a while before it was fixed for me. Just in case other people find this topic i still want to provide the answer that fixed for me.

I also use Windows + wamp but the mistake with in the environment variables..... i was stupid enough to create a "composer" environment variable DO NOT DO THIS or rename it to something else in case you did.

Found the answer here https://github.com/composer/getcomposer.org/issues/43

After renaming it worked again.
