I'm trying to generate a one-file executable with Pyinstaller and it always fails if I try to add an icon, but when I don't ask my computer to add the icon, the app builds successfully. I've tried following the instructions on the following pages:
https://github.com/PySimpleGUI/PySimpleGUI/issues/445
https://shanetully.com/2013/08/cross-platform-deployment-of-python-applications-with-pyinstaller/
Pyinstaller setting icon
but none of them helped me. Based on the page behind the second of those links, I added the following lines (the latter I added since I'm using Windows, but I couldn't understand what if sys.platform == 'win32' else a.binaries, (mentioned at shanetully's website) is supposed to do):
a.datas + [('images/ticon.ico', 'tfolder/images/ticon.ico', 'DATA')]
a.binaries + [('msvcp100.dll', 'C:\\Windows\\System32\\msvcp100.dll', 'BINARY'),
('msvcr100.dll', 'C:\\Windows\\System32\\msvcr100.dll', 'BINARY')]
to the .spec file and copied the icon to tfolder/images.
The error message I got (and have been getting similar or identical messages with previous attempts as well) was the following. (with my computer username replaced with my stackoverflow username:

And yes, I tried googling the last line of the error message on its own, but couldn't find any help that way either.
By the way, this is an app where I actually do want the console to appear when running it.
EDIT: I had to reset the entire computer and this time installed Python as is and did not use Anaconda like I had previously used. This time Pyinstaller worked fine.
ORIGINAL ANSWER (unedited):
I couldn't get Pyinstaller to work, but there is a workaround. You can compile the program first without the icon (pyinstaller.exe --onefile main.py) on the command line and then use a program called Resource Hacker (http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/) to change the icon afterwards.
After changing the icon using Resource Hacker, you may need to move the executable to another place for the icon to appear in the file manager. I moved the executable to my SD card and then the icon appeared, and it appears also when I copy the executable back to my computer's hard drive.

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Users\\adwaith\\AppData\\Local\\Comms\\UnistoreDB\\USS.jtx'
I have checked that the location and the USS.jtx files exist on my machine. Also, I tried searching about USS.jtx file but it keeps showing up in the context of git. I do have a Github desktop, so I thought maybe using pyinstaller from inside the git repo is causing problems. I then copied the entire repo to another location on my computer, but the problem persists.
I'm not normally a Windows guy, but I saw your post on Linkedin about this.
It seems to me that the file exists, but you don't have permission to read it. Have a look at this article and ensure that you have permission to read the file.
A quick and dirty way to check this is to just try opening the file in notepad or whatever the basic text editor is called in Windows.
If notepad gives an error on trying to open the file, then you need to fix the permissions. If notepad can open it without any changes to the permissions, then you have some oddness in how you are running pyinstaller.
Im trying to compile my python script to an exe so that i can send it to friends that can use with without having to install python, but im running into an issue and cant find a solution.
i found a similar issue at Pyinstaller win32ctypes.pywin32.pywintypes.error: (1920, 'LoadLibraryExW', 'System cannot access the file')
but cant post there except as a answer, i tried to add permissions and unhide the 'WindowsApps' folder but nothing seems to work.
Here is what cmd is giving me when running pyinstaller
and 'Systemet kan inte komma åt filen' is swedish for 'System cannot access the file'

We don't support the Windows store version of python due to the fact that PyInstaller can't access the DLLs required to build you application. Please use a virtual environment of some kind or install python from https://python.org
I had the same issue with this, apparently it's something to do with shared file systems.
The solution in the post you provided helped me sort the problem, follow this link to guide you to create a virtual environment:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.geeksforgeeks.org/python-virtual-environment/amp/
If you have any issues with pyinstaller not being 'recognised as an internal or external command' dont forget to add the virtual environment pyinstaller module to your environmental variables.
I had exactly the same '(1920, 'LoadLibraryEx', 'System cannot access the file')' problem with Pyinstaller and after much thrashing on the problem decided to clean up my Python environment. So I uninstalled Python 3.6 and 3.7 then uninstalled PyCharm and Anaconda.
Then installed Python 3.8 and Pip 3.8 and then Pyinstaller and IT WORKED!!! My hunch is the problem was a conflict between 3.6 and 3.7 but that is just a hunch. I do think PyCharm and Anaconda are great products - - I'm just going to be WAY more careful about my Python environment from here on out.
[BTW Pyinstaller worked flawlessly first time on my Linux development box.]
I've been trying to build a project using pyinstaller. The project is using PyQt5 and I'm not able to build it correctly. UPX and python are in my PATH. I don't want to mess with any of the package python files so I'm not sure what to do. Here is the cmd output:

Recently updated my computer to Windows 10 and now pyinstaller is throwing an error. This has been working on my Windows 7 computer for as long as I can remember.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling pyinstaller, win32 extentions, and several other things.
Any ideas what could be wrong with my computer settings?

I have encountered the same issue. It was caused by Pyinstaller being very greedy when processing the files in the source directory, and as such it traversed and picked up things that were not suitable, e.g. subdirectories of frameworks, such as .git, or, in my case .vscode. This may results in some hard-to-debug issues - see https://stackoverflow.com/a/58195896/1603969.
I solved my problem by copying the source files to a clean directory and then producing a bundle from this clean directory where only necessary source files resided.
I try to create python binary from python3 file with pyinstaller, but it failled and the error message as below, can anyone give me some suggestion? thanks.
