python fails to run with remapped drives

[m-u-r-p-h-y]

Running version
3.15.4-nightly.1 (code)

Describe the bug
with disk mapping on general/disk_mapping/windows
I'm remapping my local folder to simulate studio environment to drive P:

everything works fine, except for launching blender, where we are probably trying to install missing PySide2

the way we call for python is not working with remapped drive, eventhough running the same command from shell works perfectly fine

Desktop:

• OS: windows
• Host: Blender 3.5.0

The issue here is, that installation is run with elevated permissions, which means it is executed by a different user and the drive mapping (subst) is only working for the original user (not for the admin)

the solution would be to replicate the mapping of the drive under admin as well, before attempting to install missing dependencies.
