Answer 1

There are three points that you need to consider:

• Make sure that in the windows PATH variable there is an entry with your python installation and the scripts subfolder eg: C:\Program Files (x86)\Python36-32\ and C:\Program Files (x86)\Python36-32\Scripts\
• When using pip install virtualenv, make sure that you run cmd as administrator. Otherwise, there might an access denied error during installation and virtualenv will not be installed properly.
• Make sure that virtualenv has been installed correctly. Check in the python scripts subfolder - there must exist an .exe named virtualenv.exe. If not, uninstall will pip uninstall virtualenv and install again.
