Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/brentvollebregt/auto-py-to-exe/issues/378

When running auto-py-to-exe on one of my python scripts I run into the error:

pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'google-cloud-core' distribution was not found and is required by the application

Project output will not be moved to output folder
Complete.

google-cloud-core is installed in my python environment and even after uninstalling and reinstalling it, the error still persists.
What can I do to fix this?

Yeah I tried those approaches. In that case the author of the post was actually using the google cloud Translate API in his project, I on the other hand don't use any google related code in any of my projects but I get the same error no matter which python file I try to convert to .exe.

Simple solution was to entirely delete the auto-py-to-exe folder, re-download it from the github repository and the error is gone.
No idea what caused it though :\
