Same problem.

@vsajip could this be due to a change in distlib 0.3.5 ?

[vsajip]

Perhaps, but it doesn't seem likely. The resource t64.exe is shipped as part of distlib and appears to be present in both the wheel and source tarball for 0.3.5.

@Yuvaraja28 could you check if the file t64.exe is present there:

The resource t64.exe is shipped as part of distlib and appears to be present in both the wheel and source tarball for 0.3.5.

I can confirm it is also present in the pip 22.2.x wheels.

t64.exe is there in that Directory

Just Download Latest Python from python.org thats the only Fix for this Issue
I've Downloaded and Installed Python 3.10.6 and now the Problem has Gone

pip-tools also has been experiencing this issue since 12 Aug 2022 on CI (github actions) with Windows against pip's main branch, see job logs.

The only difference is Python upgraded to 3.10.6 and CI started to fail, see successful and usuccessful jobs.

I think this needs someone to reproduce the issue reliably, perhaps with a modified scripts.py which catches the ValueError and invokes pdb, or prints out more diagnostic information which would help to diagnose the cause of the failure. Or else provide a minimal script which demonstrates the issue. On my local Python installation, I can't reproduce it, using a local venv in c:\temp\venv310 created with a freshly downloaded Python 3.1.0:

C:\Users\Vinay>AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\python -m venv \temp\venv310

That last bit uses the same logic as scripts.py does to find t64.exe. The file sizes match:

C:\Users\Vinay>dir \temp\venv310\Lib\site-packages\pip\_vendor\distlib\t64.exe
