Fwd: Re: [PyInstaller] False trojan messages?

[Grant Paton-Simpson]

Hi,

I rebuilt the spec and made the following changes but they didn't
prevent the message about pywintypes27.dll already existing when it
should not.

> pathex=['C:\\Python27\\pyinstaller-pyinstaller-ba163ef\\utils'],
> hiddenimports=[],

I added \\utils and the hiddenimports and hookspath details.

Any thoughts?


All the best,
Grant
