Platformio-vscode-ide: MSVC Runtime Error when starting PIO

[tovine]

This error appears when starting PIO, however after dismissing it I can still seem to browse the PIO menus just fine.

System info:

• Windows 7 (64-bit)
• Python 2.7
• Fresh install of VS Code (with only language extensions for Python and C++ enabled)

Could you try manually create virtual environment for PIo Core? http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/installation.html#virtual-environment

I tried it just now (removed existing penv directory and followed the rest of the steps), same error message.

Could you try this solution? http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/faq.html#importerror-cannot-import-name-remove-dead-weakref

That worked, problem solved!
