How to install a specific version of python in the virtual enivironment in windows? [duplicate]

Question

I have python 3.6.6 and I can create a virtual environment with this version using virtulaenv ..I have installed python in drive(C) C:\python36 where the OS is installed.How can I install a specific version like python 2.7.16 in the virtual environment.Do I have to install python 2.7.16 manualy or will it download itself?I saw some answers for linux but couldn't get it.I tried

PS C:\Users\Husni\Desktop\dev> virtualenv -p C:/python2.7.16 .

The path C:/python2.7.16 (from --python=C:/python2.7.16) does not exist

Then I tried

PS C:\Users\Husni\Desktop\dev> virtualenv -p python36 .

The path python36 (from --python=python36) does not exist
