Problem installing PlatformIO

PlatformIO IDE

Seems my installer (http://platformio.org/platformio-ide) ran into a couple of issues:

PlatformIO: Unable to create a virtualenv.
Traceback (most recent call last):

PlatformIO tool is not available.
Can not find platformio command. Please install it using pip install platformio or enable built-in PlatformIO tool in Menu: PlatformIO > Settings > platformio-ide package.

Any help would be appreciated :slight_smile:
Prior to PlatformIO I installed Python 2.7.13, in case that helps.

  1. Do you have Anaconda installed in a system?
  2. Do you have non-ASCII symbols in a UserProfile?

I have exactly the same issue.

  1. I do have anaconda 4.4.0. installed. I installed it for ‘Just me’ in C:\Anaconda3. Anaconda is not in my PATH variable.
  2. I don’t have special characters in the userprofiles
  3. This is a corporate PC, there is McAfee antivirus installed that I cannot disable. I can temporarely disable on-access scan, but that did not help.

@mrpraline It was fixed for me by installing virtualenv package in Python manually.
