Description

I've been trying to update my 1.1.13 poetry install to 1.2.2 using the official doc but it failed.

Retrieving Poetry metadata

# Welcome to Poetry!

This will download and install the latest version of Poetry,
a dependency and package manager for Python.

It will add the `poetry` command to Poetry's bin directory, located at:

D:\AppData\Roaming\Python\Scripts

You can uninstall at any time by executing this script with the --uninstall option,
and these changes will be reverted.

and the error same occurs after poetry uninstall with both python 3.9.6 and python3.8.10

I now don't have poetry anymore on my computer 😢

Research direction

Start with install-poetry.py, especially Installer.run, Installer.install, make_env, and VirtualEnvironment.make, then reproduce the official PowerShell command with Python 3.9.6 and 3.8.10 on Windows. Check the virtual-environment creation path and subprocess failure; done means the documented installation completes without FileNotFoundError and Poetry is restored after uninstall.
