I just encountered the same behavior. Steps to reproduce:
* Install Python 3 (I used 3.9.5) on Windows
* Use the Admin console to create a python3.exe link, e.g.
cd "c:/Users/niklas/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python39"
mklink python3.exe python.exe
* Use python3.exe to create a venv, e.g.
python3 -m venv
The environment is created up until the point _setup_pip() is called in venv,
which causes the following error to be printed:
Error: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified
Running venv from the interpreter gives the full stack trace.
$ python3 -c 'import venv; venv.main([".venv"])'
Traceback (most recent call last):
