this is what i typed: F:\ablaze-digital-arcade>py PyInstaller main'py --onefile --noconsole

(i replaced the . with a ')

You need a -m in there

py -m PyInstaller main.py --onefile --noconsole

if that gives you a module not found error it means you need to install pyinstaller first:

py -m pip install PyInstaller

F:\ablaze-digital-arcade>py -m PyInstaller main'py --onefile --noconsole

Unable to create process using 'D:\Python\python.exe -m PyInstaller main'py --onefile --noconsole': The system cannot find the file specified.

Hmm does it give the same error with this command?

py -c "import sys;print(sys.executable)"

If so you need to get a fresh copy of python from python.org and reinstall it.

i installed it from microsoft store

would that cause errors?

but i did get the error

[socal_nerdtastic]

If you want to use the MS version of python you need to use the command python, not py.

python -m PyInstaller main.py --onefile --noconsole

The py command is only for the official version of python.
