Hi Soren, you're welcome :-) Install or reinstall the current cygwin python312-virtualenv (20.36.1-1). You will get the previously missing symbolic link /usr/lib/python3.12/ensurepip/_bundled/pip-25.0.1-py3-none-any.whl pointing to /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/virtualenv/seed/wheels/embed/pip-25.0.1-py3-none-any.whl Try it again as described previously.
