Installation Manager

%23 Description of problem
I can not install platformio in either a central VSCode installation - using the installer and installing in the default folders. And I can not install platformio in a unzipped local install in windows (not using the installer - just unzipping). It doesnt seem to matter if it puts the .platformio folder in my user folder eg c:\users\marcus.platformio, or if I create a data folder in the local VS code folder. I get the same error - I have removed all platformio folders, all vscode installations, and have nothing in my path env vars that I can see etc. So I can not install platformio at all.

I am doing a fresh install of VScode with PlatformIO.

1. Unzip the vscode installer (as I dont want a single install, I want multiple installs - each with different plugins). This install is for embeded dev (hence the need for platforio)
2. I don't use a single Python install, I use diferent versions of Win Python, and these are not in my path. I start a WinPy shell to run python in the path if I need it, or I start a virtual environment shell depending what I want to use (run activate in the venv path etc)
3. To run VSCode I cd to the folder that has the vscode installed executable (code.exe), and pass in as an argument, the folder that contains my workspace

cd U:\vscode\VSCode-win32-x64-1.69.0\EmbeddedC++
code.exe G:\EmbedWorkSpaces\Lora_Satellite

I make a data folder inside the vscode folder - so that vscode will install all plugins etc into that local data folder, otherwise it will put everything in /users/uname/.platformio - which I dont want, as this folder will be shared by all my vscode executables.

When I run the code.exe G:\EmbedWorkSpaces\Lora_Satellite, I expect it to install a local .platformio as there is a platformio.ini inside the project I am loading which comes from here

When I run vscode it complains with the error below - and I notice that there is a .platformio in my user folder (/users/uname/.platformio) - where that should be in the data folder AFAIK

` Directory of C:\Users\marcu.platformio
