Pyinstaller OSError: Cannot load AutoItX

Question

I used import autoit . The script is running perfectly from VSCode and from Control Panel. But when making it an executable with PyInstaller, when I run the.exe file I get this error message:

pyinstaller --hidden-import=autoit --onefile run.py didn't work. How to bypass this problem?

Answer 1

1)Copy file( AutoItX3_x64.dll ) from address

C:\Users\alire\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Lib\site-packages\autoit\lib\

2. Build folder( autoit\lib ) in project and copy file there

Answer 2

After some time of searching i find a solution about my problem.

The solution i found working was by using the cmd .

1) I use this command to define the PATH of the file:

cd C:\Users\bilakos\Desktop\PYTHON_PROJECTS\BOT

2) Then i use this command to create the working executable .exe file:

pyinstaller --onefile --add-data C:\Users\bilakos\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\Lib\site-packages\autoit\lib\AutoItX3_x64.dll;autoit\lib Bot.py

For me that worked. I hope if somebody experienced the same issue, to get help be reading my solution.
