@brentvollebregt commented on GitHub (Nov 10, 2018):

Most of the time this is not an issue with auto-py-to-exe or PyInstaller but incorrect configuration (which is ok). This means you will then need to enable debugging for the project to investigate the issue and hold on to any output.

To enable debugging, go into the "Advanced" section and under the title "How to generate" put 'all' in the box beside --debug. This will print out messages to the console to help you debug.

When debugging, make sure you selected the "Console Based" button and using "One Directory" will help remove basic problems; you can switch back to "One File" when there are no more bugs and then fix the ones associated with "One File".

After re-packaging your project, open up cmd, use the cd command to change directories to where the exe is located and then execute ./my_project.exe (substitute the names). This will run the executable and any errors you were missing before will be output to the console.

This is the command, @brentvollebregt
pyinstaller -y --debug all "D:/Pechi/selenium_link/selenium_link/final/my_tkinter_new.py"

I think I am running cmd in wrong location, it looks for a file called all in the running directory
