windowed exe using pyinstaller with -w option not work

Question

This is my first post, thanks for viewing in advance. I wanted to convert test.py to test.exe using pyinstaller. Everything worked fine until I tried to use -w option to get rid of the console window. It says-

'Failed to execute script test'

Below is the code -

from selenium import webdriver 
browser = webdriver.Firefox()

I guess when using '-w' option for script with external applications like browser it will pop up with this error? Thanks guys

pyinstaller script.py --windowed
