Hello All,
I recently encountered an error that took me a while to figure out. I now
have things working but requires modifying the Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest
file. Can someone help me figure out how to get the package process to work
without the manual modification? Here is what happens:
I am packaging my PyQt5 application using PyInstaller version 4.7. The
packaged application runs fine on my development computer but when I try to
run on the target machine I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "AMT2_Main.py", line 17, in <module>
File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 476, in exec_module
File "flircam\__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 476, in exec_module
File "flircam\flirCam.py", line 1, in <module>

File "PySpin\__init__.py", line 18, in <module>
File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod03_importers.py", line 476, in exec_module
File "PySpin\PySpin.py", line 13, in <module>
ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _PySpin: The application has
failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect.
Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe
tool for more detail.
I took the advice given above and used sxstrace.exe and found the following
error:
INFO: Manifest Definition Identity is
Microsoft.VC80.CRT,processorArchitecture="amd64",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="8.0.50727.9659".
ERROR: Line 17: The application element is not allowed in the
component manifest.
After a little digging I found that the manifest contains:
<application xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<windowsSettings>
<longPathAware
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2016/WindowsSettings";>true</longPathAware>
</windowsSettings>
</application>
I deleted this section and the problem went away. I also tried replacing it
with the Microsoft recommended:
<application xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3"> <windowsSettings
xmlns:ws2="http://schemas.microsoft.com/SMI/2016/WindowsSettings";>
<ws2:longPathAware>true</ws2:longPathAware> </windowsSettings>
</application>
Both of these solutions worked. Any ideas on how to fix this would be
helpful.
Thanks!
