Description
Given this simple test:
```
def test_run(virtualenv):
import sys
cmd = ['python', '-c', 'import sys; print(sys.prefix)']
res = virtualenv.run(cmd, capture=True, text=True).strip()
assert sys.prefix not in res
```
This test runs a command in the virtualenv emitting the sys.prefix and expects it _not_ to be the sys.prefix of the test runner.
It passes on Unix-like OSs, but fails on Windows with this trace:
```
