   Hi @leegibbons6point6

   I encountered the same issue recently. I suggest you to use a virtual environment to install pyenv (it worked for me at least).
   You just simply create a virtual environment using python -m venv /path/to/new/virtual/environment
   Then activate the venv using Scripts\activate
   Finally you can just simply pip install like the first time.

   Note that using pip install in a virtual environment causes that you can only use the installed module within that same active environment.

   Hope it helps!

   I could circumvent this issue on Windows 10 by adding --no-user at the end of the pip command in powershell.

   pip install pyenv-win --target $env:USERPROFILE\\.pyenv --no-user --upgrade

   Collecting pyenv-win
     Using cached pyenv_win-2.64.11-py3-none-any.whl (44 kB)
