[Bug]: "No pyvenv.cfg file" when running launcher

[jm1996117]

Checklist

• The issue exists after disabling all extensions
• The issue exists on a clean installation of webui
• The issue is caused by an extension, but I believe it is caused by a bug in the webui
• The issue exists in the current version of the webui
• The issue has not been reported before recently
• The issue has been reported before but has not been fixed yet

What happened?

Clicking "launch webui" works as usual until the command
venv "C:\Users\Jack\Downloads\stable-diffusion-webui\venv\Scripts\Python.exe" at which point the window says "No pyvenv.cfg file Press any key to continue . . . "

Steps to reproduce the problem

Start a1111,
click "launch webui"

What should have happened?
