Problem Description

When following the included DOCS to get started and configure ENV - https://microsoft.github.io/react-native-windows/docs/getting-started

React-native nightly is suggested, however when trying to install react-native-windows, the install process errors out due to a version error

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Open IDE to new Folder
  2. npx --yes react-native@nightly init --version "nightly"
  3. cd projectName
  4. npx --yes react-native-windows-init --overwrite (ERROR HERE)

Expected Results

Successful installation.

For now removing the nightly version specification works when trying to install react native.

CLI version

13.6.6

I believe that should be
npx --yes react-native@latest init <projectName> --version "latest"
