Path Error?

[CrimpOn]

Attempting to run pyinstaller.exe gives error about PATH:

pyinstaller.exe -h
Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"C:\Program Files\Python311\python.exe"  "C:\Users\Dick\pyinstaller.exe" -h': The system cannot find the file specified.

Yet the Windows 11 PATH shows this:

path
PATH=C:\Program Files\Python313\Scripts\;C:\Program Files\Python313\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\java8path;C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\Program Files\Python312\Scripts\;C:\Program Files\Python312\;C:\windows\system32;C:\windows;C:\windows\System32\Wbem;C:\windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\windows\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\PhysX\Common;C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA NvDLISR;C:\Program Files\HP\HP One Agent;C:\Program Files\PuTTY\;C:\Strawberry\c\bin;C:\Strawberry\perl\site\bin;C:\Strawberry\perl\bin;C:\Users\Dick\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python313\Scripts\;C:\Users\Dick\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python313\;C:\Users\Dick\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;

Where is it getting this invalid PATH?

I’d re-install pyintaller with the python version you want to use, and try again. 

Also, unless you really need them, you might want to uninstall all but one version of python.

Great thought.  I kept trying to install the latest version, but the exe file never changed.  FINALLY seem to have it working correctly again.
