exe runs from command line but not when double clicked

[Dirk Marchant]

I made a .exe using pyinstaller.  The .exe runs from the command line but when I double click the file in Windows Explorer I get the error: Failed to execute script.  Why would the program run one way but not the other?

Hi,

How do you use pyinstaller for generating exe files?

I suggest to wrap the code using try except and log the error if possible.

Thanks

Fixed.  I changed the .spec file to run windowed (not one file), then wrote a batch file with the program name and "pause".  I was able to see the error then (which was a missing path in the .spec file) and fix it.
