failed to create process

[Patrick Carra]

I installed python 3.7 and installed pyintaller via pip using "py -m pip install pyinstaller" .  When I run pyinstaller inside the folder of my script using "pyinstaller --onefile RIAPI.py" I get the error message "failed to create process."

Any help is appreciated I have searched for a solution but cannot find out what is wrong.  Thank you!

Unfortunately from my perspective the pyinstaller documentation including error messages is sadly lacking. I wish I could help here but all I can say is "you are not alone."

Start by building in the directory mode instead of the one file mode. There are some logs that get created in the build directory that might be helpful.

Well, 

the PyInstaller documentation is far from perfect, and maybe the developers are not so quick to answer to emails, but I think you're pretending too much.

If you don't mind to waste time describing your problem (in your case at least you missed the Operating System, PyInstaller version, if it runs with a simple -V option, if it can compile a simple test, ....) I think that it will be hard to get help from anyone.

This is just a suggestion, no pun intended ;-)

Cheers,

Nico

I resolved this issue by uninstalling python 3.6 and installing 3.7.  No issues after that.  I do. Ot mind describing the problem but thanks for the sarcasm Nico ;)

If your company is using PyInstaller, thunk about some substantial
project grand. Then one could spend time to work in the documentation.
