Trying to install /e/ on Fairphone 3+ with easy installer, stops with message ''the installation encounter an error''

Thanks for providing the log. The important part is

C:\Program Files\easy-installer>"C:\Program Files\easy-installer\bin\adb\fastboot" devices   2>&1  | findstr fastboot 

'findstr' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.
exit value = 255

Something a little similar has been reported in the /e/ forum for a Gigaset device: Easyinstaller stops at unlocking bootloader GS290 - Easy Installer - /e/ community

That topic does not have a solution for Windows. The poster successfully used Linux to install /e/. But that may not be an option for you.

Searching the web I found https://stackoverflow.com/q/10244181/6309275

There it sounds like on some Windows installations the system variables are kind of corrupted. The suggestion I linked to is for some older version of Windows.
For windows 10 here is how to check/change the PATH variable (which seems broken on your system): https://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/set-path-environment-variables-in-windows-10/

In case you just want to get the installer running, you can try this “hack”

  • in the file manager, open C:\Windows\system32\
  • search for a file called findstr.exe, right-click it and select “Copy”
  • open C:\Program Files\easy-installer\bin\adb\ in the file manager
  • right-click somewhere inside the folder and select “Paste”

And then start the installer again.
