Instead of copying the whole install, you should be able to symlink the core 
binaries (e.g. python.exe, python38.dll, python3.dll, vcruntime140.dll) to a 
temporary directory and set PYTHONHOME. Most (or at least some) of the build 
bots should be set up to grant the symlink privilege to the current user or all 
standard users, and %TEMP% should be on an NTFS/ReFS volume that supports 
reparse points.
