Configuration

Operating system: Win 10 x64

PlatformIO Version (platformio --version): 6.1.7a2

Description of problem

When PlatformIO is installed in the system-wide Python interpreter, executing pio upgrade --dev fails with a

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it used by another process 'c:\\users\\max\\appdata\\roaming\\python\\python311\\scripts\\pio.exe'
Check the permissions.

error message. I think what's going on here is that, when pio upgrade --dev is executed, the pio.exe binary starts, but tries to replace itself through pip, while it's still running of course. This configuration however never failed on previous PlatformIO versions.

Manually executing

python -m pip --no-cache-dir install --upgrade C:\Users\Max\.platformio\.cache\piocoredevelop.zip

made the installation go through. However even after that (latest dev core installed) the pio upgrade --dev fails again.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Python 3 (for me: 3.11.1)
2. Install PlatformIO core systemwide through python3 -m pip install platformio
3. Add PlatformIO to PATH
4. Execute pio upgrade --dev

Actual Results

>pio upgrade --dev
Please wait while upgrading PlatformIO ...
