Pipenv can't create virtual environment error

Hey everyone, not sure what the problem is, but I keep getting this error and no idea what to do, I tried installing and unsinstalling a couple times

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘C:\Users\david_5oni1yh\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\Local\pypa\virtualenv\wheel\3.11\image\1\CopyPipInstall\setuptools-65.6.3-py3-none-any\setuptools\config\_validate_pyproject\fastjsonschema_exceptions.py’

It means that it is in a different directory than where you’re trying to access it. Exactly what the error says:
"No such file or directory: "

what happens when you do:

where python3

?

And, then either:
$Env:Path

Or,
`echo %PATH%
?

  • Did you use pip to install the venv? If not, how’d you do it?
  • where did you install is?
  • did you activate it?

This might help:

Or, there are ~50+ similar threads here on this topic…so, perhaps one of them can help you too?
