With my Application it should be possible to open Files with my Programm. But when I click on myfile..mft > Open with > myexe_to_open_mft.exe Then the exe gets an error: Fatal error, faild to execute script. If I open the program regular without open with, I get no errors and if I open it via command prompt I get also no errors. Thanks for the help!

(Edit: At the end I fixed this error by hided the console via ctypes)

pyinstaller --windowed -i icon.ico PickleViewer.py

Image from the Script if run over command line

Screenshot of the error

Output from pyinstaller

I know this error, "Fatal error, failed to execute script"

This error because you compile a python script (.pyw not .py) to .exe format, BUT there's no GUI available in that script. So you must use the 'py' extension (in Pyinstaller, do not type '-W') or use PyGame, PyQT etc.

And Tkinter is not compatible with .pyw extension, so you should use PyGame or PyQt or other big library for GUI

So I'm using Tinker and a .py extension, if I understood you correctly these are the cretins. And I have no error if I start the script via command line... Whats wrong?
can you please screenshot so i can know what is your problem?
I can send te command for the build and a screenshot of the error, and a screenshot when i start if over command line
do not use --windowed, because it will make an error
or if you want to hide a console you can use ctypes

I think i found it:

if getattr(sys, 'frozen', False): # we are running in a bundle frozen = 'ever so' bundle_dir = sys._MEIPASS else: # we are running in a normal Python environment bundle_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))

Edit: didnt helped

EDIT (SOLUTION):

I made it by hiding the console via ctypes.
