Fails to install on windows

Description

I am just running the install script in the readme and it fails:

$ curl -L https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCli | bash

---

Environment summary

Install Method: How did you install the CLI? (e.g. pip, interactive script, apt-get, Docker, MSI, nightly)
Answer here:

I am running the latest version of Git Bash and I just ran the curl script from the README.

CLI Version: What version of the CLI and modules are installed? (Use az --version)
Answer here:

I don’t know because I can’t install it.

OS Version: What OS and version are you using?
Answer here:

Windows 10.

Shell Type: What shell are you using? (e.g. bash, cmd.exe, Bash on Windows)
Answer here:

Git Bash (aka bash)

Extra Info: I have python27 already installed on my machine because nodejs requires it. I see in the output its trying to install python and pip:

Already using interpreter C:\Python27\python.exe
New python executable in E:\azure\Scripts\python.exe
Installing setuptools, pip, wheel...done.

When I look in my bin folder it is empty:

But python is in the azure scripts folder:

But the error states the path its trying to exectute pip at is in the bin folder:

-- Executing: ['E:\\azure\\bin\\pip', 'install', '--cache-dir', 'c:\\users\\justin\\appdata\\local\\temp\\tmp3v1zxj', 'azure-cli', '--upgrade']

I believe the path should be E:\\azure\\Scripts\\pip. Interestingly E:\\azure\\bin\\ does not exist at all.

Full Error:

@derekbekoe Should the README just link to the install page on docs rather than containing its own install instructions? There are so many different recommended installation methods depending on the user system that I would be worried about drift.

EDIT Just saw this was already done. 👍

On second thought I guess I can just run everything through the subsystem… I have been using VS Code to do this but it looks like there may be a solution: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/blob/master/Documentation/Debugger/gdb/Windows Subsystem for Linux.md

And if not I guess I can live with just doing it all through the subsystem. I’ll play around with it thanks.
