This is mentioned here that from 6.5.0.0 onwards zips wont be available for download https://www.shopware.com/en/news/the-improved-shopware-installer/.

We make this via ALTER queries in install.php as they don't get imported via Softaculous and throw #3105 - The value specified for generated column 'external_storefront_language_id' in table 'sales_channel_domain' is not allowed(Since 6.7.14.0). Query is taken from /vendor/shopware/core/Migration/V6_7/Migration1784801509AddIsExternalStorefrontToSalesChannelDomain.php. Check in every version.
