On Windows (and not under something like cygwin or msys, which have their own rules)? Anyway, it's not that important, the recommended approach is `python -m pip`, so whether using the non-recommended approach works or not doesn't really matter.

Let's take that question back to the pip tracker. If you want the latest version of pip (as opposed to the bundled version) ensurepip isn't the right approach.
