Error when I try to convert image to text PyTesseract Python

Question

I`m writing this very short code:

import pytesseract
from PIL import Image

#converting image to text
print(pytesseract.image_to_string(Image.open('test1.png')))

And I have this big Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Rostik\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\pytesseract\pytesseract.py", line 255, in run_tesseract
    proc = subprocess.Popen(cmd_args, **subprocess_args())

    hp, ht, pid, tid = _winapi.CreateProcess(executable, args,
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] Не удается найти указанный файл

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

pytesseract.pytesseract.TesseractNotFoundError: C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract is not installed or it's not in your PATH. See README file for more information.  

I had added Tesseract to PATH and in cmd it is working correctly. Can you solve this problem?

I think this will help

import pytesseract
pytesseract.pytesseract.tesseract_cmd = r'C:\Program Files (x86)\Tesseract-OCR\tesseract'
print(pytesseract.image_to_string(r'test1.png'))
