So this is my script which i made just for testing:
import ctypes
def isAdmin():
try:
is_admin = (os.getuid() == 0)
except AttributeError:
is_admin = ctypes.windll.shell32.IsUserAnAdmin() != 0
return is_admin

is_admin = isAdmin()
if not is_admin:
ctypes.windll.user32.MessageBoxW(0, "Please run as administrator.", "RustClient", 32)
quit()
When i compile it using these settings :

I get this error when running it:

Does anyone have an idea why this happens?

Have you run this script outside of IDLE? As in just with Python.
Did you read the help post before creating this issue?
