Ошибка failed to execute script

I am having a tough time overcoming this error, I have searched everywhere for that error message and nothing seems relevant to my situation:

"failed to execute script new-app"

new-app is my python GUI program. When I run pyinstaller using this command:

pyinstaller.exe --onedir --hidden-import FileDialog --windowed --noupx new-app.py

It does work smoothly. In addition, when I execute the command line to run the gui program, it works perfectly and the GUI is generated using this command:

.distnew-appnew-app.exe

But when I go to that file hopefully to be able to click the app to get the GUI, it gives me the error said above. Why is that?

I am using python2.7 and the OS is Windows 7 Enterprise.

Any inputs will be appreciated and thanks a lot in advance.

Well I guess I have found the solution for my own question, here is how I did it:

Eventhough I was being able to successfully run the program using normal python command as well as successfully run pyinstaller and be able to execute the app «new_app.exe» using the command line mentioned in the question which in both cases display the GUI with no problem at all. However, only when I click the application it won’t allow to display the GUI and no error is generated.

So, What I did is I added an extra parameter —debug in the pyinstaller command and removing the —windowed parameter so that I can see what is actually happening when the app is clicked and I found out there was an error which made a lot of sense when I trace it, it basically complained that «some_image.jpg» no such file or directory.

The reason why it complains and didn’t complain when I ran the script from the first place or even using the command line «./» is because the file image existed in the same path as the script located but when pyinstaller created «dist» directory which has the app product it makes a perfect sense that the image file is not there and so I basically moved it to that dist directory where the clickable app is there!

So The Simple answer is to place all the media files or folders which were used by code in the directory where exe file is there.

Second method is to add «—add-data <path to file/folder>»(this can be used multiple times to add different files) option in pyinstaller command this will automatically put the given file or folder into the exe folder.

In my case i have a main.py that have dependencies with other files. After I build that app with py installer using this command:

pyinstaller --onefile --windowed main.py

I got the main.exe inside dist folder. I double clicked on this file, and I raised the error mentioned above.
To fix this, I just copy the main.exe from dist directory to previous directory, which is the root directory of my main.py and the dependency files, and I got no error after run the main.exe.

Add this function at the beginning of your script :

import sys, os 
    def resource_path(relative_path):
        if hasattr(sys, '_MEIPASS'):
            return os.path.join(sys._MEIPASS, relative_path)
        return os.path.join(os.path.abspath("."), relative_path)

Refer to your data files by calling the function resource_path(), like this:

resource_path('myimage.gif')

Then use this command:

pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --add-data todo.ico;. script.py

In case anyone doesn’t get results from the other answers, I fixed a similar problem by:

adding --hidden-import flags as needed for any missing modules
cleaning up the associated folders and spec files:

rmdir /s /q dist

rmdir /s /q build

del /s /q my_service.spec

Running the commands for installation as Administrator

I was getting this error for a different reason than those listed here, and could not find the solution easily, so I figured I would post here.

Hopefully this is helpful to someone.

My issue was with referencing files in the program. It was not able to find the file listed, because when I was coding it I had the file I wanted to reference in the top level directory and just called

"my_file.png"

when I was calling the files.

pyinstaller did not like this, because even when I was running it from the same folder, it was expecting a full path:

"C:Filesmy_file.png"

Once I changed all of my paths, to the full version of their path, it fixed this issue.

I got the same error and figured out that i wrote my script using Anaconda but pyinstaller tries to pack script on pure python. So, modules not exist in pythons library folder cause this problem.

That error is due to missing of modules in pyinstaller. You can find the missing modules by running script in executable command line, i.e., by removing ‘-w’ from the command. Once you created the command line executable file then in command line it will show the missing modules. By finding those missing modules you can add this to your command :
» —hidden-import = missingmodule «

I solved my problem through this.

answered Mar 22, 2020 at 17:18

I had a similar problem, this was due to the fact that I am using anaconda and not installing the dependencies in pip but in anaconda. What helped me was to install the dependencies in pip.

answered Apr 22, 2021 at 5:38

I found a similar issue but none of the answers up above helped. I found a solution to my problem activating the base environment. Trying once more what I was doing without base I got my GUI.exe executed.

As stated by @Shyrtle, given that once solved my initial problem I wanted to add a background image, I had to pass the entire path of the image even if the file.py and the image itself were in the same directory.

In my case (level noob) I forgot to install library «matplotlib». Program worked in Pycharm, but not when I tried open from terminal. After installed library in Main directory all was ok.

Метки execute, failed, pygame, pyinstaller, python, script (Все метки)

Я сделал игру на pygame. Все файлы для игры лежат в одной папке. Но после того как я сделал exe через pyinstaller(pyinstaller -F -w main.py) выходит окно с ошибкой: «Failed to execute script main». Если запускать обычный .py файл, ошибки не наблюдается.
Код игры:

Python

import pygame
pygame.init()
window=pygame.display.set_mode((281, 500))
pygame.display.set_caption("Игрушка")
x=50
y=50
widht=40
height=60
speed=5
run=True
jump=False
jumpCount=10
zvuk=1
el=pygame.image.load("el.png")
bg=pygame.image.load("bg.jpg")
song = pygame.mixer.Sound('el.ogg')
pygame.mixer.music.load('hello.mp3')
pygame.mixer.music.play()
while run:
    pygame.time.delay(25)
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type==pygame.QUIT:
            run=False
    keys=pygame.key.get_pressed()
    if keys[pygame.K_LEFT] and x>5:
        x-=speed
    if keys[pygame.K_RIGHT] and x<281-widht-5:
        x+=speed
    if not(jump):
        if keys[pygame.K_UP] and y>5:
            y-=speed
        if keys[pygame.K_DOWN] and y<500-height-5:
            y+=speed
        if keys[pygame.K_SPACE]:
            jump=True
    else:
        if zvuk==1:
            song.play()
            zvuk=0
        if jumpCount>=-10:
            if jumpCount<0:
                y+=(jumpCount**2)/2 
            else:
                y-=(jumpCount**2)/2
            jumpCount-=1
        else: 
            jump=False
            jumpCount=10
            zvuk=1
    window.blit(bg,(0,0))
    tupler=(int(x), int(y))
    window.blit(el, tupler)
    pygame.display.update()

Также прикреплён архив с файлами для игры.

Все работает, вы файлы для игры рядом с exe ложили? И какой python?

2 дня назад, когда у меня был установлен Python 3.8, я нашёл способ фикса бага переустановкой pyinstaller вот так:

Python

1 2	pip uninstall pyinstaller pip install https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/archive/develop.zip

Но этот способ не работал. Когда я установил Python 3.6 и переустановил так pyinstaller, всё заработало

Troubleshooting

Hints for solving common problems that may arise when
using fbs.

My frozen app won’t start

In this scenario, fbs run works but running the
binary obtained from fbs freeze gives an error.
On Windows, the error is typically shown in a dialog:

Besides main, the error message may also
mention fbs_pyinstaller_hook – see
further below.

Failed to execute script main

To get more information in this case, run the following
commands:

fbs clean
fbs freeze --debug

When you then start the standalone binary of your
application from the command line, you should see a
lot more debug output. If it contains an
ImportError, see the

section on Dependencies

in fbs’s Manual for a possible solution.

Failed to execute script fbs_pyinstaller_hook

This typically happens when your code does not create an

ApplicationContext.
This is required for fbs to work. Please see the

tutorial
for an example.

How to Fix Backup and Sync "failed to execute script main"

Today’s post is about how to fix the Google Drive Backup and sync error of “failed to execute script main”.

So, here’s the background. Yesterday morning, I woke up my computer from sleep mode. Google Drive should be running all the time to back up my files, but yesterday, the Backup and sync icon was disappeared from my taskbar.

I tried to open the program again, but got the following error:

Google Drive Backup and Sync Traceback Error

(A screenshot from Google Drive Help Community)

After clicked on “OK”, the “failed to execute script main” window popped up.

Google Drive Backup and Sync Failed to Execute Script Main

(A screenshot from Google Drive Help Community)

By following the suggestions that I found online, I tried:

Restarted the PC (didn’t work for me).
Downloaded the latest version of Google Backup and sync, uninstalled the former version, then installed the latest one (didn’t work for me).
Cleaned up any leftover install/Google Drive folders/subfolders/temp files, restarted the computer, reinstalled the program, and then ran Google Drive as administrator (didn’t work for me).
…

Fortunately, I opened Windows Security to have a look. Found Google.exe was been blocked. After allowed it manually, the problem was solved.

I totally relate to how software issues like this can drive you crazy, so I’ve put up some solutions that might be helpful to fix the “Backup and sync failed to execute script main” error.

Solution for Fixing Google Drive “failed to execute script main” on Windows 10, 8, 7, etc.: Check the Protection History of Your Antivirus Software

Windows Security shows a green tick and doesn’t prompt any message does not mean that it hasn’t blocked something. Some other antivirus protections might be the same, so this is the first solution you should check.

**Check both Windows Security and your antivirus software, in case you have one.

Steps:

Open “Windows Security” > “Virus & threat protection” > “Protection history”.
Look at the “App or process blocked” item, if you find something like googledrivesync.exe, GOOGLE.EXE, etc. you need to click on “Actions” > “Allow on device”.
Reopen Google Backup and sync.

Allow Google Drive in Windows Security to Solve Failed to Execute Script Main

Follow These Steps If It Still Doesn’t Work

Make sure you are using a Windows login account that has full administrator privileges.

Using Windows with Administrator Account

Uninstall Backup and sync in Control PanelProgramsPrograms and Features
Restart your computer.
Clean up any leftover files of Backup and sync:
1. Delete the folder and all subfolders found here: C:Program FilesGoogleDrive (Depending on where the installation failed, this may not be present)
2. Delete the folder and all subfolders found here: C:UsersYOUR-WINDOWS-USERNAMEAppDataLocalGoogleDrive (Depending on where the installation failed, this may not be present)
3. Clean up as much of your Windows Temp folder as possible: C:WindowsTemp (Some files are unable to be deleted. You can just skip those).
Clean out any partial registry keys:
1. Press Windows Key + R
2. type regedit then click OK to run
3. Accept the request by the operating system to permit the command.
4. Navigate to the key location: ComputerHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREGoogleDrive (Depending on where the installation failed, this may not be present).
5. If present, on the left side, right click the Drive entry and select delete.
Download and install the latest version of Backup and sync from Google.
