Installing AWS Elastic BeanStalk on Windows 10

Hit some interesting anomolies recently, installing the eb cli to Windows 10 and following the eb cli install guidance on the AWS Support Site.

Python installer installed to C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\Scripts, pip and eb installed themselves to C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python36\Scripts. In other words, two slightly different routes to the \Scripts folder, which needs to be on the path.


The generally available instructions don't seem to cover this situation.  Rather than crudely crashing the two sub-folder sets together to reconcile the two, simply adding C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python36\Scripts to my path fixed the not found issues.
