Missing DLL files when using pyinstaller

Question

Good afternoon!

I am using python 3.5.2 with qt5, pyqt5 and sip14.8. I also use the latest pyinstaller bracketing (3.3.dev0 + g501ad40).

I am trying to create an exe file for the base world hello program.

from PyQt5 import QtWidgets import sys class newPingDialog(QtWidgets.QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super(newPingDialog, self).__init__() self.setGeometry(50, 50, 500, 300) self.setWindowTitle("hello!") self.show() app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv) GUI = newPingDialog() sys.exit(app.exec_()) 

At first I used some errors regarding crt-msi. So I reinstalled the SDK and C ++ environment and added them to my environment. But now I keep getting errors about missing DLLs (qsvg, Qt5PrintSupport)

 6296 WARNING: lib not found: Qt5Svg.dll dependency of C:\users\me\appdata\local\programs\python\python35\lib\site-pac kages\PyQt5\Qt\plugins\imageformats\qsvg.dll 6584 WARNING: lib not found: Qt5Svg.dll dependency of C:\users\me\appdata\local\programs\python\python35\lib\site-pac kages\PyQt5\Qt\plugins\iconengines\qsvgicon.dll 6992 WARNING: lib not found: Qt5PrintSupport.dll dependency of C:\users\me\appdata\local\programs\python\python35\lib \site-packages\PyQt5\Qt\plugins\printsupport\windowsprintersupport.dll 7535 WARNING: lib not found: Qt5PrintSupport.dll dependency of c:\users\me\appdata\local\programs\python\python35\lib \site-packages\PyQt5\QtPrintSupport.pyd 8245 INFO: Looking for eggs 8245 INFO: Using Python library c:\users\me\appdata\local\programs\python\python35\python35.dll 8246 INFO: Found binding redirects: 

I checked and both dll libraries exist and their PATH set. I also tried manually adding them to the dist folder, but that didn't help.

I appreciate any advice you may have!

Answer 1

This may be more like a workaround, and Pyinstaller may need to be fixed.

I found out that the --paths argument pointing to the directory containing Qt5Core.dll, Qt5Gui.dll, etc., helped

 pyinstaller --paths C:\Python35\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5\Qt\bin hello.py 

Answer 2

This has now been fixed in the latest PyInstaller development branch, see this issue for PyInstaller on GitHub .

Answer 3

I read all the complicated solutions on github and stackoverflow for this problem. However, here is a simple solution that worked for me:

Step 1: pip3 remove pyinstaller

Step 2: install pip pyinstaller

Step 3: pyinstaller --onefile filename.py

I tried this solution on 2 different computers that were facing the same problem. Both worked. Please let me know if this works for you too. Thumbs up will be appreciated after that. Hooray

Answer 4

Usually adding --Path directory of argument pointers containing an unreasonable library solves the problem. Perhaps there was a problem if parsing the command line if you are using PyInstaller 3.3dev. This usually happens if the path contains spaces. In this case, you can modify the pathex argument in the pathex file generated by PyInstaller, and then run it with PyInstaller to create the executable.

 pyinstaller file_name.spec 

Hopefully this will be fixed soon .....

26095 ATTENTION: lib not found: api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll dependency c: \ users \ user \ appdata \ local \ Programs \ python \ python36-32 \ DLLs \ select.pyd

Find in C: the drive for the dll and specify the path in the pyinstaller command. The command below fixed the above pyinstaller error in Windows 10:

 pyinstaller --paths "C:\Windows\WinSxS\x86_microsoft-windows-m..namespace-downlevel_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.17134.1_none_50c6cb8431e7428f" hello.py

Answer 7

you can use "pyinstaller --onefile filename.py". The exe file will be created in the dist folder
