Installing Django using pip

Question

I'm trying to install Django using pip on my windows machine, however i keep getting an error in command prompt:

Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"'

I've been searching around on the internet for solutions, but I cant seem to find any. Thanks in advance

@Leistungsabfall yes, ive set the paths in the environment variables — Prash, Mar 24 '16 at 14:30
@Leistungsabfall Just a note, when i installed python, it gave me the option to set the PATH, im assuming that is that is the same thing? — Prash, Mar 24 '16 at 14:33
@Prash yes, as long as you did not change it. What pip version do you have? Maybe try upgrading pip: `python -m pip install -U pip` — Leistungsabfall, Mar 24 '16 at 14:37

Make sure you have a virtual env setup. Then activate it and try installing django.

Try use the python installation from Active State http://www.activestate.com/activepython/downloads

I'm a Linux User but I've used python and Django on Windows with ActiveState.

When you install it, the installation create a folder with any utils tools, like pip, easy_install and etc... And the pip of this script works well
