[BUG]Cannot run "python -m playwright install" properly

[jasonyangmx]

System info

• Playwright Version: [v1.35.0]
• Operating System: [Windows 11]
• Browser: [All]
• Other info: Hi, when I run "python -m playwright install" in cmd (after the command "pip install playwright" was normally done), it said "'D:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Maybe this was because the path I installed contains parentheses. I installed python in "D:\Progam(x86)", and the playwright program was in "D:\Program(x86)\Python39-32\Scripts\". I think that may be somehow related to the problem.

Thank you!

export default defineConfig({
  projects: [
    {
      name: 'chromium',
      use: { ...devices['Desktop Chrome'], },
    },
});

Test file (self-contained)

it('should check the box using setChecked', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.setContent(`<input id='checkbox' type='checkbox'></input>`);
  await page.getByRole('checkbox').check();
  await expect(page.getByRole('checkbox')).toBeChecked();
});

I tried to reproduce, but was unfortunately not able to. Are you using a virtualenv?

No, I'm not using virtualenv.

Here's the log (Things were the same as I started cmd under Administrator's mode):

Yeah looks like something is messed up on your system. We strongly recommend to use virtualenv, so dependencies are not installed globally, don't run it in administrator mode and recommend a more recent Python version.

Closing for now since we were not able to reproduce it.
