pip fatal error

[MikeALC]

Hello all,

I an new to python and have install python 3.6.3 on a window server machine and have had some issues with using 'pip'.
When I have used the command 'pip install virtualenv' I get the following error 'fatal error in launcher: unable to create process using '"'

From the cmd line I looked to see what version of pip was installed and got. C:\Windows\System32>pip --version
Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"'

I then thought it may need upgrading so did this. C:\Windows\System32>pip install --upgrade pip
Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"'

So then researched online and this was suggested.
C:\Windows\System32>python -m pip install -U pip
Could not import runpy module
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'runpy'

But this has got me no further so I am now trying this forum for help.

If anyone has got any ideas it would be much appreciated.

Regards
