how to get past the error message python.exe' is not executable. Is it the python binary?

Trying to build the latest tensorflow 2.12 on windows 11 with bazel 5.3 and python 3.11, but am stuck on the error below. Python path is correct as are env variables. Any ideas on how to work around this?

This is a question to better ask on https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow, but from the error message, you might want to check if C:/Python311/python.exe actually exists on your machine.
