Description

The files bundled in `webui_forge_cu124_torch24\system\python\Scripts`
all have the hard-coded path `#!D:\webui-forge\system\python\python.exe`.

This leads to an error when trying to use pip to [install xformers](https://github.com/facebookresearch/xformers/discussions/717).

1. start cmd.exe in `webui_forge_cu124_torch24`
2. run `environment.bat`
3. try to run `pip3.10.exe install xformers-0.0.28.dev893+cu124-cp310-cp310-win_amd64.whl`

```
Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"D:\webui-forge\system\python\python.exe" "C:\ai\webui_forge_cu124_torch24\system\python\Scripts\pip3.10.exe" ':
```

I could fix it by manually replacing the line `#!D:\webui-forge\system\python\python.exe` with the correct path for my system, but I think this should be addressed if this is the official way to install webui-forge.

Research direction

Inspect the bundled files under webui_forge_cu124_torch24\system\python\Scripts and environment.bat, then reproduce the failure with the documented pip3.10.exe command. Done means pip can install the xformers wheel from a different installation path without manually replacing the embedded python.exe path.
