Python: creating exe installer of python project

Question

I want to create an installer for my python project, which runs on any Windows PC without directly installing python on that PC.

Basically what I need is that my python project installs and runs on PC as any other software.

I've already tried pyinstaller but it converts only a single file. I don't know if it does work for a whole project.

The exe file it creates just needs to have access to all the dependencies. You can accomplish this by putting them all into a folder and sending the folder zipped to wherever it needs to go. — Cresht

@Bill I've the exe and its dependencies in a folder already, Now I need to create a installer which takes all the files and install it to the computer. Just one single file which installs the whole package — Mayank Jain

The single file pyinstaller outputs contains the whole project you told it to generate for you.

You can just distribute that file, and anyone can download it and run with double-click.

To create an installer, you can use something like NSIS installer.
