[New-bugs-announce] [issue35558] venv: running activate.bat gives ' parameter format not correct - 65001'

[Nils Lindemann]

New submission from Nils Lindemann <nilsherolindemann at googlemail.com>:

Windows 7, Python 3.7.1:260ec2c36a

after doing

    C:\python\python -m venv C:\myvenv

and then

    C:\>myvenv\Scripts\activate.bat

it prints

    parameter format not correct - 65001

However, it activates the venv - the prompt shows

    (myvenv) C:\>

and

    C:\myvenv\Scripts;

gets prepended to PATH.

When i outcomment

    for /f "tokens=2 delims=:" %%a in ('"%SystemRoot%\System32\chcp.com"') do (
        set "_OLD_CODEPAGE=%%a"
    )

in the activate.bat then the message wont show up.
