Clean install on local WAMPSERVER instance...
I was looking to test the Backlight 2 installer in a clean installation (not an upgrade) locally on my laptop using WAMPSERVER just to kick the tyres...I was able to drop the files into the aliased directory and get the Backlight page that requests order ID and EMAIL but when I provided those items, I get this error message in a red box:
The installer was unable to connect to the server: https://get.theturninggate.net/install/has_backlight/
If I go to that URL, I get "No input" as a response (not particularly surprising that browsing the naked URL would respond that way but it is kind of surprising that I'm able to get a connection and response directly in the browser but not by the form submission on Backlight's default installer page).
---
So I went for plan B...drop the installer files on a brand new VPS I commissioned last month as a throwaway installation to develop templates before the real installation begins in the server that's going to replace my old family photos site with a new site with Wordpress fronting Backlight-managed galleries.
This time...order ID/EMAIL and the installer worked a treat. One quick login later and fixing up the quick setup and I was into the admin interface. Of course, I had to check out the new installer module and I wasn't disappointed...three clicks and galleria/theatre/WP add-ons were dropped right on the server. The modules management screen is *MARVELOUS* and is going to make managing the version upgrades so much easier. Not that it was particularly hard before if you followed the directions in the README but this is like going from Oracle's old patching system with 50 pages of manual script jockeying to the newer download a huge patch file and run the executable which does all of that crap under the covers!!! 
I'm also totally digging the new admin appearance...very clean and tidy and easy enough for someone to use that's already used to Backlight but will also be fairly simple for new users as well.
I am looking forward to playing with Backlight 2 more thoroughly but as it's already very late here, I've got to deliver three kids to three different schools about six hours from now, and then there's this minor matter of Hurricane Florence that's due to strike not too far away from us in a few days...really having fun with Backlight 2 is unfortunately going to have to wait a little longer! 
But all in all...well done gents! Well done, indeed!

Re: Clean install on local WAMPSERVER instance...
Thanks very much for the kind words! I'm glad you like the new system and interface.
The connection problem seems to be from your WAMP server talking to our server. The installer tries very hard to connect, using three different approaches depending on the available functionality of your server. Were there any specific errors raised? Can you see if there was anything logged to WAMP's error log? I would be helpful to know the reason it couldn't connect.

Re: Clean install on local WAMPSERVER instance...
Appears to be a missing directory/file (modules/module-framework/Framework.php) that is referenced by the index.php at the top-level directory. The ZIP file contains the modules directory but is completely empty.

I was thinking the redirect from server root index.php (which references Framework.php) to the installer's index.php (which doesn't) was screwing up the installer so I reinstalled the ZIP contents and then called the installer directly but got the same result only without the redirect:

Tracing the code from installer/index.php...I'm a bit mystified as to why backlight/index.php one level up from the installer somehow managed to be invoked even though the access logs don't show it.
I'm sure I'm probably missing something silly but for the life of me I'm not seeing it. What really strikes me as odd is that when I went to Plan B...I dumped the exact same contents of the ZIP file on the VPS and called the installer and it worked fine right out of the box. I can't think of anything where the VPS is really different than the local WAMP install...it's straight Apache in both instances.
At any rate, it's not critical...I can work round not having a local install fairly easily though I wouldn't mind eventually having a working local install for development purposes but I'm sure there's lots of more important things to worry about besides satisfying my curiosity!

Re: Clean install on local WAMPSERVER instance...
Interesting discovery you've made. I have personally only ever visited the top of the site (e.g. http://yoursite.com/), which automatically redirects to the installer, or directly to the location of the installer (e.g. http://yoursite.com/backlight/installer/) to install Backlight 2, but never to just /backlight/. / redirects to /backlight/installer/. I'll add a similar redirect from /backlight/ to /backlight/installer/ so that those errors won't come up.

Re: Clean install on local WAMPSERVER instance...
I have updated the Installer package with this extra redirect added. There's no need for you to download it or use it. This is only helpful for new installations to stop errors happening should users navigate to /backlight/ before running the installer.

Re: Clean install on local WAMPSERVER instance...
I used to be a beta-tester/QA way back when in my IT career so it's nice to know that I can still break things even when I'm not even trying!
I went ahead and tried the new installer (1.02) anyway because I was genuinely curious and it's a local throwaway install...the Framework.php error referenced earlier is gone but I'm still seeing the same error message "The installer was unable to connect to the server: https://get.theturninggate.net/install/has_backlight/" with the following entries in access.log.
Interestingly, the access log is showing GET requests at root even though I explicitly chose to navigate to the URL "http://localhost/sunfox-test/backlight/installer/" directly...not sure where those are coming from.
Looks like the redirects for installer's CSS gets into an infinite loop until Apache or Firefox pulls the plug on the redirects.

So I tried "http://localhost/sunfox-test/backlight/installer/index.php" (not relying on the default resolution)...saw the same cascading redirects and failure to contact the server with these access.log entries:

I've also tried the requests with SSL and it's still showing the same sort of cascading redirects.
I'll keep playing with it...I'm wondering if it's not liking that the directory in question is configured as an alias via Apache.
Here's the alias configuration from Apache:
Alias /sunfox-test "e:/srv/wamp/sunfox-test/"
<Directory "e:/srv/wamp/sunfox-test/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
<ifDefine APACHE24>
Require local
</ifDefine>
<ifDefine !APACHE24>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from localhost ::1 127.0.0.1
</ifDefine>
</Directory>
FWIW, this is running on WAMPSERVER 3.1.3...Apache 2.4.26 and PHP 7.2.7.
I do appreciate the time you've spent on sorting this out so far but please feel free to treat it as the lowest priority as I've got a perfectly sound workaround.
