Virtualenv not installing correctly

I had Python 3.4 running on my Windows 8.1 system during which time virtualenv used to work correctly.

Due to some requirements not working on 3.4, I downgraded my Python version to Python 2.7.6 by cleanly uninstalling Python 3.4 from C:\Python34 and installing 2.7 in C:\Python27.

Post install of python, I installed pip and used pip install virtualenv to install virtualenv for 2.7. However, whenever I run virtualenv in my command prompt, I'm faced with the following error:

sh.exe": /c/Python34/scripts/virtualenv: No such file or directory

How do I fix this so that virtualenv uses python 2.7.6 instead of 3.4?

Another way is to install both python 27 and 34 at different folders. You can add 27 folder to system path, and use 34 locally. If you have eclipse with pydev or other IDE tool, just configure pythonpath variable to the corresponding version that you want to use.

My first hunch is to check your PATH variable:

https://superuser.com/questions/502358/easier-way-to-change-environment-variables-in-windows-8

and see if that is still pointing to a now non-existent install. Every time I've installed python on windows, I've had to manually set that, so I wouldn't assume the uninstall would fix it automatically.
