Lektor: install.ps1 not working on Windows 10 with Python 3.7.1

[tonnydourado]

When running the install.ps1 script, it fails when it tries to create the virtualenv.

The issue is that the install script will try to run virtualenv.py from <temporary dir>\\<virtualenv name>, but there's no virtualenv.py file in this folder: the file is in temporary dir>\\<virtualenv name>\\src (maybe it's a change on how virtualenv is packaged?). I solved it in my machine by just adding "src" to the os.path.join call on the install function, like this:

Popen([sys.executable, 'virtualenv.py', lib_dir], cwd=os.path.join(t, virtualenv_filename, "src")).wait()

I wanted to submit a patch but I couldn't find the install.ps1 file anywhere, is it not in this repository?

Could you please provide the output of the error? I've got the same setup
but didn't get any errors on install. No breaking change is stated on
virtualenv's documentation either.

That file is a downloadable asset for getlektor.com, so it's stored over here: https://github.com/lektor/lektor-website/blob/master/assets/install.ps1, for now at least.

Yet another example of the unfortunate separation between project files and site files. https://github.com/lektor/lektor-website/issues/226
