Change the line that throws the error:
if distribution.installer == "pip":
by
if distribution and distribution.installer == "pip"
and give a feedback. I should publish the fix soon.
Sometimes the guy just says 'there was an error', and doesn't even include the long traceback. I want to fix it, but without information it's difficult. As for you, you went to the trouble of finding a workaround. That is great.

Problem encountered During execution of my setup.py, the following error is thrown, after a long list of calls:
The fact that disabling the load_mkl function solved the problem indicates that there may be a bug in the mkl hook.
To Reproduce I created a fresh conda environnement using miniconda. My script is very short, but it needs pandas, therefore numpy and mkl, as dependecies.
Expected behavior As far as I understand, the hooks are there to help with importing specific libraries. In this case it seems to add a bug. I found the following workaround for my specific situation:
Workaround After commenting out the code of the load_mkl function in hooks/mkl.py, the setup is able to create the .exe without any errors, and the resulting program runs successfully.
Desktop
setup.py `# -- coding: latin-1 --
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
import glob import os import sys import shutil
includes = ['numpy','pandas','mkl'] excludes = [] packages = ['numpy', 'pandas', 'mkl'] bin_excludes = [] include_files=['test.csv']
build_exe_options = { "optimize": 0, "includes": includes, "excludes": excludes, "packages": packages, "include_files": include_files, "bin_excludes": bin_excludes }
setup( name="bs_json", version="1.0", description = "Read JSON from file", options = {"build_exe": build_exe_options}, executables = [Executable("bs_json.py", base=None)] )`
