Error installing PIO

[HugoGroen]

When installing PIO, I get the same error every time, no matter what solution I try: Error: Error: Compatible PlatformIO Core not found. Reason: PlatformIO executable not found in 'C:\Users\Hugo Groeneveld\.platformio\penv\Scripts' at c:\Users\Hugo Groeneveld\.vscode\extensions\platformio.platformio-ide-2.2.1\node_modules\platformio-node-helpers\dist\index.js:1:879275 at ChildProcess.c (c:\Users\Hugo Groeneveld\.vscode\extensions\platformio.platformio-ide-2.2.1\node_modules\platformio-node-helpers\dist\index.js:1:879169) at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:223:5) at ChildProcess.cp.emit (c:\Users\Hugo Groeneveld\.vscode\extensions\platformio.platformio-ide-2.2.1\node_modules\cross-spawn\lib\enoent.js:34:29) at maybeClose (internal/child_process.js:1021:16) at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:283:5) t.log @ console.ts:112 And Error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\Hugo Groeneveld\.platformio\.cache\tmp\get-platformio-0.3.5.py", line 69, in <module> main() File "C:\Users\Hugo Groeneveld\.platformio\.cache\tmp\get-platformio-0.3.5.py", line 61, in main bootstrap() File "C:\Users\Hugo Groeneveld\.platformio\.cache\tmp\get-platformio-0.3.5.py", line 47, in bootstrap pioinstaller.__main__.main() File "C:\Users\Hugo Groeneveld\.platformio\.cache\tmp\.piocore-installer-w53wrrkj\tmp815vkpj9\pioinstaller.zip\pioinstaller\__main__.py", line 122, in main File "C:\Users\Hugo Groeneveld\.platformio\.cache\tmp\.piocore-installer-w53wrrkj\tmp815vkpj9\pioinstaller.zip\click\core.py... onDidChangeNotification @ notificationsAlerts.ts:36 And the last one contextKeyService.ts:420 Element already has context attribute w @ contextKeyService.ts:379

I have no idea what to make of these errors or how to fix them. I've already tried to 'Check available solutions' which leads me here, but this fix doesn't work. Perhaps the problem is that I have multiple different versions of Python installed (2.7.15, 2.7.16, 3.8.2 & 3.9.1) and I haven't enabled 'Add to PATH' in the installation, as recommended by TH3D Studio (I'm trying to edit Marlin code for my 3D printer). Could anyone tell me how to fix this? Thanks!

UPDATE: I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything, with only reinstalling Python 3.9.1, but the same error keeps popping up.

The problem seems to lie with the fact that I, and you most likely as well, have a space in my Windows username (eg: John Doe, note the space). This seems to make either VisualStudio or POI mess up. I have found a temporary solution by using my account without a space in the name (eg: JohnDoe) with seems to make everything work. It still is a really annoying and stupid bug but I guess we have to deal with it for now.
