#11555 — Failed to create virtual environment when using --relocatable option, what's wrong?

all things works well without --relocatable option, the error info
when using --relocatable option is as follows :

F:\PythonEnv\djangoEnv>virtualenv f:\PythonEnv\djangoEnv2 --relocatable
PYTHONHOME is set.  You *must* activate the virtualenv before using it
The environment doesn't have a file f:\PythonEnv\djangoEnv2\Scripts\activate_thi
s.py -- please re-run virtualenv on this environment to update it

Although the docs aren't very clear, --relocatable should be run on
_existing_ virtualenvs. Don't think of it as an option for creating an
environment, but rather one for preparing an existing environment for
moving.

More importantly, it _must_ be re-run in order to remain relocatable
after any modules are installed.

But most important of all, from the documentation: "Also this does not
currently work on Windows."
