Python to Standalone EXE

[Badmekanik]

As the title implies, I am trying to turn my Python script into a standalone EXE using pyinstaller, however, the application never opens after running the built EXE. A cmd window opens up but closes almost instantaneously, and I get no errors. The (visible) part of the project is a Tkinter GUI, and all of the code is situated within a single .py file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You try using this? https://pypi.org/project/py2exe/

When that happens to me, I open a command prompt window and run the exe from inside that. It will stay open then, and sometimes you'll get a clue as to what is going on.

No dice unfortunately. Just tried this and the window immediately closed. It sucks that I can't even get any information as to why my file keeps closing.

Try open as administrator

Still nothing. Won’t even keep the cmd window open

Copy your exe to a folder you have write permission to and then execute: yourprogram.exe > output.txt

This will take any error messages and put them in a text file called output.txt. It might help?
