Quick Checks
Describe the bug
I used pyinstaller & auto-py-to-exe but both generate a file rather than exe file
even if i try to add extention to it and run it, windows says cant run this app...
I want to generate exe on my linux and move it to windows, but in the windows cant run app because in my linux it generate only a file without extention under dist folder of pyinstaller or output folder of auto-py-to-exe.

👋 Hi, just a reminder that if you haven't read the help post yet, give it a read to see if your issue is covered in it and make sure to follow the debugging section.
Also please note, as stated in the README, if your issue is only associated with your application and not auto-py-to-exe itself, please do not create an issue in this repository - instead, comment on the help post, video or create a new discussion.
@brentvollebregt commented on GitHub (Jul 11, 2025):
In the help post there is a section "Can I Create an Executable on One Operating System and Run it on Another?" - this explains that while PyInstaller (the underlying library that does packaging in auto-py-to-exe) is cross-platform, it is not a cross-compiler. The output from the tool cannot run across multiple operating systems.
