virtualenv is intended to be a command line tool, so running it through 
idle is your first problem :)

The error you're receiving seems pretty explicit.

Generally, you would go to, say, a projects folder and type at the 
command line:

     C:\Projects> virtualenv my-new-project
     C:\Projects> cd my-new-project
     C:\Projects\my-new-project> Scripts\activate.bat

This will create & enable your virtualenv sandbox.
