Error running the exe file in Windows "Failed to execute script pyi_rth_pkgres"

[Ernest Bonat, Ph.D.]

Hi,

I have created a simple Python program including the following packages:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd

if __name__ == '__main__':
print("Hi!")

I have created the installation package using PyInstaller with the
following command line:

pyinstaller --onedir --name=appname --windowed "C:\appname.py"

The required folders (build and dist) and the spec file are created
properly with no errors. When I run the appname.exe file I got the error
"Failed to execute script pyi_rth_pkgres".

I'm using the following now:

- Anaconda3 4.1.1.64-bit
- Python 3.5.2
- PyInstaller 3.2
- Windows 10 64-bit

Any help is very appreciated. Feel free to contact me at any time you need.

Thank you,

Hi,

I have fixed this problem by following the steps:

1. Uninstall the PyInstaller downloaded from http://www.pyinstaller.org/
pip install pyinstaller

2. Install the PyInstaller from the GitHub developer repository
pip install https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/archive/develop.zip

Still not clear to me why the main site http://www.pyinstaller.org/ does
not have the latest release?

Thanks
