PyInstaller lib not found

Question

I made a simple python[3.5.2] program using tkinter. When I use pyinstaller[3.2] on it it gives me a ton of 'lib not found' warnings. Example:

2999 WARNING: lib not found: api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll dependency of c:\python\python.exe

3031 WARNING: lib not found: api-ms-win-crt-heap-l1-1-0.dll dependency of c:\python\python.exe

3218 WARNING: lib not found: api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll dependency of c:\python\VCRUNTIME140.dll

3312 WARNING: lib not found: api-ms-win-crt-convert-l1-1-0.dll dependency of c:\python\VCRUNTIME140.dll

6494 WARNING: lib not found: api-ms-win-crt-heap-l1-1-0.dll dependency of c:\python\DLLs_hashlib.pyd

7271 WARNING: lib not found: api-ms-win-crt-stdio-l1-1-0.dll dependency of c:\python\DLLs\unicodedata.pyd

.bat file I use to make executables is

@echo off

set /p file_name="Enter file name: "

pyinstaller %0..\%file_name%\%file_name%.py --onefile --windowed --distpath %0..\%file_name% --name=%file_name%

del %file_name%.spec

rmdir /s /q build

echo.

pause

What am I doing wrong? Windows 10 64bit

Answer 1

Just had this problem myself. The problem is that pyinstaller is not fully compatible Windows 10. The only solution currently is to download the Windows 10 SDK (a 2GB download).
