TensorBoard failed to launch due to local and virtual environment problems

Issue Type: Bug

Behaviour

Expected vs. Actual

Expected

When the interpreter is Python in conda environment, the extension can launch TensorBoard in conda environment.

Actual

Cannot launch TensorBoard: session: Error: Timed out after 60 seconds waiting for TensorBoard to launch.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start VS Code from Windows Start Menu or Shell without conda activate. In the default environment of my system or Powershell, there is no TensorBoard package installed.

PS D:\workspace_tmp> pip list

You are using pip version 19.0.3, however version 22.0.4 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.
PS D:\workspace_tmp> code .

1. In VS Code, selected interpreter 'base':conda.
2. The Python extension automatically activates this conda environment in the VS Code built-in shell, where TensorBoard is installed.

PS D:\workspace_tmp> conda activate base
(base) PS D:\workspace_tmp> pip list | Select-String tensorboard

tensorboard                        2.8.0
tensorboard-data-server            0.6.0
tensorboard-plugin-wit             1.6.0

(base) PS D:\workspace_tmp> conda list | Select-String tensorboard

tensorboard               2.8.0              pyhd8ed1ab_1    conda-forge
tensorboard-data-server   0.6.0            py39haa95532_0    defaults
tensorboard-plugin-wit    1.6.0                      py_0    defaults

1. Run command Python: Launch TensorBoard, it prompts that the launch fails after 60 seconds.

But when I execute tensorboard --logdir=./runs in the built-in shell (conda activated), it works fine.

I think the reason is that the extension found the correct interpreter D:\Folders\Users\zhang\anaconda3\python.exe, also Ensuring TensorBoard package is installed into active interpreter, but it did not execute pythonFiles\tensorboard_launcher.py in the conda environment.

I know that one solution is to let VS Code start in the shell that activates conda (like conda run -n base code), but that is not convenient.

I hope that extension can directly launch TensorBoard in conda environment.

Pulling back to triage as it looks like more customers are hitting this.
