Compiling with cx_Freeze about win32mica HOT 8 CLOSED

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

Could you try build using PyInstaller?

from win32mica.

I can, but does pyinstaller build msi's?

from win32mica.

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)

from win32mica.

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
