I am very new to Python and was tasked with making a python script run
as a stand along executable on windows. I used EasyGUI to at a GUI and
Pyinstaller to make a single windows executable.
The executable runs fine on my windowx XP instance run through VMware
Fusion on my Mac, and it does on two colleague's native Windows 7 and
my parents windows 7. It fails to run on a friend's native windows 7
PC, another colleague's windows XP machine, and my girlfriend' Windows
Vista laptop.
I can't find any pattern here.
No error messages are given, warnings, or anything. Double clicking
the executable very briefly pops up a more or less invisible window
for a few microseconds which you can't see and then it disappears
without trace. Running from the command line provides no error
messages. The program should print a welcome message to the CL
immediately upon execution so the program just can't be running at
all.
I don't even know where to begin since on my available computers it
runs so i cann't see how the error occurs or if I can fix it.
What are the common problems that I should look at?

What is your pyinstaller version?

DLL(s) from your executable image, most usually those from the Visual
C++ re-distributable pack. Some dump tools can help with this but make
sure that your package includes msvcp71.dll at the very least.
Hope this helps!
