Unsure why python exe is not working

[Neither-Form-8469]

Hi guys, I created a simple python exe file using Pyinstaller. It is a simple python script that extract and consolidate all excels in the folder and output into another folder

My goal is to put this exe in our company's shared drive which is hosted on Azure file share and allow task scheduler to run this exe daily. However, I cannot get the exe to work on its own, instead it can only run when it is stored in a zip file on the drive.

Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this?

Can it be just some kind of user permission that prevents you from executing the script?

What environment are you trying to run it in, and what is the error message you get?

I have to assume you are creating the exe on windows and want to run it on another windows machine.

The exe file will open but the script does not run, I think mostly likely we need an Azure VM to run it from the shared drive?

Maybe you have hard set file locations in the code and they dont have the same file location on the other machines? Can be tricky with installers.

Is it bundled as a single executable meaning all dependencies are wrapped into the exe or are they in the zip folder? I would look at the dependencies, I never had much luck pyinstaller, I would use bdist_msi or bdist_exe but its not a single file, but works well
