Failed to execute script pyi_rth_win32comgenpy about auto-py-to-exe HOT 9 CLOSED

@davidsandbar are you sure the python installation / venv you are using to run auto-py-to-exe is the same installation / venv you have pywin32 etc installed in?

Many thanks for your help - at the end, what make it works was to open conda shell in admin mode, and run auto-py-to-exe from this window - and it worked

from auto-py-to-exe.

Is this working before it is packaged? If so, then try adding win32api to the --hidden-import input field in the advanced tab

from auto-py-to-exe.

I am not sure exactly what was going on with this but it is building now. I am not using any --hidden-import's. I did uninstall everything pywin32 related. The only pip installed that appears to be win32 related is pywin32-ctypes. I wish I had a better explanation for what fixed it.

win32api is part of the pywin32 package so it must have been getting added. This is handled by PyInstaller; unfortunately I cannot explain why it would have been added if you didn't use it.

I had the same problem in my exe file when converter from python code. But i didn't understand your answer '--hidden-import input field in the advance tab'. Can you please elaborate and help me solving my error.

The UI has an Advanced header. If you click on that, it will expand the body. There is an input by --hidden-import where you can put the import.

Please open a new issue if you are reporting an issue.

I had this same issue, but uninstalling and reinstalling didn't fix it for me. To fix this, I added the --hidden-import "pywin32" flag and it worked!

from auto-py-to-exe.

I had the same issue, I've tried:

• uninstall and reinstall everything which is pywin32, win32com related
• Added on hidden-import pywin32, win32com, pypiwin32, pywintypes
• Added in the path envs/xx/Lib/site-packages
• Added also in Additional files
• Even added a dll --add binary (saw in another forum) Lib/site-packages/pywin32_system32/pythoncom39.dll

Still not working! I don't know what to do! Any idea please?
