[Windows] Error checking for installation commands not working
Hello, I just had a very weird issue trying to use this because in Windows 10 "python3" is an alias that points you to the Microsoft store python page by default.
Even though I already had python installed, it couldn't find it because it was only present as "python" by default (I am using anaconda)
The issue is actually in the error checking, because the script continues even on failed commands.
The fact that it also restarts powershell for every command makes it hard to follow while it is running.
The errors are in French, so I annotated where they happen

Few suggestions for using Anaconda
- use "Anaconda Prompt" with "run as administrator", not PowerShell.
- use conda command for Python virtual environment as "conda create -n myenv python=3.9", not "pip venv..."
- after "conda activate myenv", then start installation with npx command.
Try to just type "python3" in your terminal and see if it's installed or not. If it's not, you may have the microsoft store proposing to install it. Install it, then run again the install command. In you case even if you have installed python, "python3" is not registered in your path, while "python" is.
