Downgrading to 12.1 resolves the issue.
I wasn't able to reproduce your error on my Windows machine. There is a possibility that something went wrong when downloading the binary, can you try running npx cypress cache clear from within your project and then reinstalling?
Also, did you download Cypress directly or via npm i cypress?
It looks like that something during the installation of both, v.12.2 and v.12.3 went wrong and I incorrectly assumed that npx cypress verify would perform checksum tests or some sort of these. Clearing the cache worked. Thank you!
I also hit this issue and I suspect it was because I interrupted the installation.
npx cypress install --force or
yarn cypress install --force (depending on the package manager in use)
should make sure that the installation of Cypress is complete.
Thanks a lot !!! @MikeMcC399 i would be working now
