Description
I have freshly unpacked the 7zip executable of Winpython64-3.12.4.1dot to a directory: P:\py\ where in P: is a network drive.
Running Winpython Command Prompt.exe to get a shell and then entering pip (or any subcommand thereof) pauses for a few seconds, followed invariably by this lengthy error:
P:\py\WPy64-31241\scripts>pip

OSError: [WinError 10022] An invalid argument was supplied
I downloaded a .whl from PyPi to try to install manually using wppm -i but it produced the same error, I guess using pip internally.
I realise "Because Windows" UNC paths are wonky in cmd, so a lot of things fall apart if not on a "proper" <LETTER>: drive, but bizarrely when I separably unpacked WinPython to a UNC location, pip install xyz worked - python itself couldn't find it when trying to import, but the installed package did indeed appear in site-packages.
I then moved that version to a place with a drive letter and it could successfully import, but then pip was broken as above so I couldn't install anything else.
Obviously this is not an ideal set up: install in one location and then relocating the entire installation! What's going on here? What did I break?
