Pyinstaller exe failed to execute script

Question

So this is my code, I can run it on my computer. As soon as I move it to another computer via flash drive, and try and open it, it reads failed to execute script. I used Pyinstaller with the commands for -w -F -i.

I've tried on two other computers aside from my own, it works on mine, but not on others. Please help!

Answer 1

These are general things you might or might not have thought about:

• Pyinstaller need to have the same type of system to deploy to as the system you are building on. If you are building on a 64 bit platform then you can deploy to a 64 bit platform. A 32 bit platform build will deploy to 32 bit platforms.

• So you have path statements that are to the libraries on your computer but those don't exist then you have to bring them with you in the spec file .

I would suggest doing a one directory install rather than a file install for the first attempt, it's slightly easier.

Answer 2

Alright well I ran pyinstaller without -w so the command prompt would still open.

I ran it and got

ImportError: MagickWand shared library not found.
You probably had not installed ImageMagick library.

So for whatever reason it still requires that even after it was made into a exe. So the new device needs it as well, odd but oh well.

This is now a new issue so I'll move on from here, but now I know. Thanks to everyone who read and commented!
