It sounds as though the installation did not work properly for some reason - have you tried running "composer install" or "composer update" to see if it fixes the installation. Otherwise, try a fresh install and see if that works.
Turns out I didn't enable openssl in my php.ini so when I created my new project with composer it was installed from source. I changed that and ran "composer update" and now the vendor folder was created.
