Command does not work

[zilvakas]

Describe the bug

I tried to install azure-devops extension usin AZ CLI, but got an error that "file not found".

• I tried to do that with Python outside of Azure CLI and succeeded.
• I tried to do that with embeded Azure CLI Python and got an error:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\CLI2\Scripts>pip install azure-devops
Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"D:\a_work\1\s\build_scripts\windows\artifacts\Python\python.exe" "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\CLI2\Scripts\pip.exe" install azure-devops': The system cannot find the file specified.

It seems that this is packaging error.

Related command

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\CLI2\Scripts>pip install azure-devops

Important: this is INTERNAL AZ CLI command, not external Python.

Errors

Possible solution (Extracted from existing issue, might be incorrect; please verify carefully)

Solution 1:

What worked for me was to uninstall python, I ran the command az extension add -n azure-devops again and it installed. I understand that it may conflict because internally the application has a python that apparently is not compatible between versions. I hope this solution helps you.
