[Django]-Can't install Django on Windows in a virtualenv

3👍

Have you tried virtualenvwrapper? It makes life as a developer much, much easier.

pip install virtualenvwrapper

Then an example on getting started:

mkvirtualenv myproject # only necessary the first time
workon myproject # for an existing virtualenv
pip install django
django-admin.py startproject myproject
...
deactivate virtualenvwrapper

virtualenvwrapper has taken care of a lot of the pathing issues I’ve run into on Windows (I have a VM which has to support specific versions of Windows, Mac, and Vagrant). I hope this helps.
