Start by reproducing the Windows `eb --version` failure with the Python 3.7.4 and awsebcli 3.20.3 versions shown, then trace the `eb` installation entry point and process launcher. Done means the command runs successfully in the reported environment and the regression is covered by an appropriate test.
