OSError: [WinError 123] The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect: 'pyd-runtime-tmpdir C:'

Error is in the title. I have python 3.8.0 installed. pyinstxtractor says the python version of my file is 38. It also says pyinstaller version is 2.1+ I've also independently verified this exe was packaged by pyinstaller. I'm running the following command in an admin command shell in Win10:

python pyinstxtractor.py program.exe

Here is the traceback info:

Is it possible this is due to something the developer of the packaged script did in their file(s) or is this something on my end/pyinstxtractor?

Please check with the latest commit.

Thank you! I did use the script from your newest commit, but it now encounters the same problem at different line numbers. I'm running this on a windows 10 VM, so still running in the exact same environment described in the original post. Here's the traceback with the newest commit:

EDIT: New image, but githib showed the same as the image in my OP. Posted copy/paste of traceback from latest commit.

Have reordered the if statements. Please check once again with the attached file.

pyinstxtractor.py
