The Windows implementation of symlink_or_copy() actually copies "python.exe" and "pythonw.exe" launchers from "Lib/venv/scripts/nt". One cannot simply copy the "python3.exe" executable because the required DLLs aren't copied. If this seemed to work when testing, it was only because the installation directory was in PATH. The solution that actually works is to copy the launcher as "python3.exe".
