Python install manager 26.0 beta 1

Whenever I run py or pymanager from bash this popup momentarily appears.

And I can’t get anything in ~\AppData\Local\Python\bin to work. Does this make any sense to you?

C:\Users\bagpuss>pymanager

This may prevent some other applications from detecting the new installation, although 'py -V:...' will work. To register the new installation, remove the existing runtime and then run 'py install --refresh'
