No I don't think it's a python conflict. Getting access denied errors is something that happens on windows sometimes. It can be related to anti-virus blocking certain operations. Or a windows setting/policy not allowing to execute this script.

It might work if you install uv manually: https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/
