Cannot open virtualenv on WIndows

I am trying to create a virtual env on windows 7 - I have Python27, virtualenv in site-packages, Path set to site=packages and scripts, but am unable to open virtualenv.

C:\>python virtualenv flask
python: can't open file 'virtualenv': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

With this command you are trying to run file virtualenv in folder C:\. It's not what you want.

I don't know how you've installed virtualenv into your Windows box but installation script should have placed virtualenv.exe in C:/path/to/python/Scripts (C:/Python27/Scripts/virtualenv.exe on my machine).

So all you need is to

C:\>C:/path/to/python/Scripts/virtualenv.exe flask

PS: It is a good idea to put C:/path/to/python/Scripts in PATH
