Clicked "Create Virtual Environment" link and got an error message

[KHM57]

Describe the bug
In VS Community, with Python support installed, I had added openai to my environment outside of VS and when I opened the .py file that contained the updated code I was prompted by VS that a Python package was detected in the project and was given a link to "Create virtual environment." When I clicked the link, the Add Environment box opened, but a popup appeared on top of it that said an unexpected error occurred. Here is the copy/paste:

The error you're encountering (System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException) indicates that VS is trying to access a path that does not exist (G:\WorkingFolder\VS\myenv\Scripts\Lib). This might be happening because VS is trying to access a virtual environment that is either missing certain directories or was not set up correctly. Can you check if the path exists? If it does, could you try deleting and recreating the virtual environment?
