How do i install older version of CI4 using composer

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4091...g-composer

Code:

composer require codeigniter4/framework:4.1.5

Hi this seems incomplete. Composer require needs a previous installation. It cannot be used to create a new project. I was told to use this

Code:

composer create-project codeigniter4/appstarter:4.1.9 project-name

This did not work either. What is the correct way to install an older full version of CI4 using composer?? I notice something peculiar in the composer install. Although, the installer initially stated it was extracting v4.1.9 archive, it was later installing version 4.2.0 framework.

Code:

Installing codeigniter4/appstarter (v4.1.9)
  - Installing codeigniter4/appstarter (v4.1.9): Extracting archive
Created project in C:\xampp\htdocs\MyCoursesLG\ci4vaniila\projectx
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies

  - Locking fakerphp/faker (v1.19.0)
  - Locking kint-php/kint (4.1.2)
  - Locking laminas/laminas-escaper (2.10.0)
  - Locking mikey179/vfsstream (v1.6.10)

Is there anyone who can help me on this?
