webui-user.bat cannot continue because the pip version is too old. But that's not true, I have the latest version. What to do?

Before I decided to install Stable Diffusion on my computer, I had an older version of Python on my computer.

I installed the new version of Python 3.10.6 as required. Updated pip and installed virtualenv. Changed the paths in the global system variables. Uninstalled the old version of Python.

But when running webui-user.bat somehow the algorithm tries to access the old version of pip ( which should have died when I uninstalled the old version of Python )

In addition to that, there were also problems with virtualenv, which still tried to run by accessing the path to the old version of Python. virtualenv was only fooled when I created an empty folder, named it as the old version of Python, and copied all the contents of the new Python 3.10.6 version into it.

The main question now is How do I get webui-user.bat to use the pip of the new Python 3.10.6 version, rather than accessing the corpse of the old version that I've already buried?

There's probably still an older copy of python in the venv folder. Delete it and it'll make a new one.

You can also specify the python version in webui-user.bat like this:

set PYTHON=python3.10.exe

This way, you can have multiple versions installed.
