Compiling with cx_Freeze #6

Closed not-nef closed 2 years ago

not-nef commented 2 years ago

Hello! I am using win32mica in a program, and when running the program from the .py file, everything works flawlessly. But when i compile the program to an execuetable using cx_Freeze, win32mica throws the following error:

Win32Mica Error: win32 version 9200 is not supported

What does that mean and how do i fix it?

Mhmm, that's weird... It looks that cx_freeze is not providing a correct windows build number...

Could you try build using PyInstaller?

not-nef commented 2 years ago

I can, but does pyinstaller build msi's?

marticliment commented 2 years ago

PyInstaller will build a standalone .exe file, and then you can create an installer using tools like Inno Setup (will create a .exe installer) or AppDeploy Repackager (will create a .msi installer)

Epic, ok. How do i use pyinstaller? (Sorry for bothering you)

marticliment commented 2 years ago

It is really easy (actually easier than cx_freeze).

  1. install pyinstaller:

    pip install pyinstaller

  2. Build the .exe file:

    pyinstaller ./yourfile.py --onefile --windowed

  3. You will have a .exe file in a folder located in your current working directory called dist. It should work then.

For more info check out the docs: https://pyinstaller.org/en/stable/usage.html
