[Python] Building a NSIS script that can create a Conda virtual environment once installation...

I am trying to build an installation setup for a Python based package and am using NSIS for it. However, once the installation is complete, I need to create a virtual environment for the package inside the installation directory which I am not able to using the NSIS script. I tried using ExecWait command, but to no help. Is there any better to way to create a virtual environment and install all the packages from Requirements.txt?

I entered the command for virtual environment creation in a batch script createEnv.bat: @CALL conda create -n env python=3.10

Subsequently this script was called from NSIS script as:

SetOutPath $INSTDIR
ExecWait '"createEnv.bat"'
