platformio-vscode-ide Error: Could not create PIO Core Virtual Environment

Hi,

Thanks for the report! We rewrote PlatformIO Core installer from the scratch. Please download and install the latest PlatformIO IDE for VSCode 2.0 Beta as described in Try Beta section on that page.

Please respond to this thread if it helped you or you still have an issue. We will reopen this issue again.

Regards, Your friends at PlatformIO
