This is extremely vague. What doesn't work; auto-py-to-exe, your executable, Python, pip? How doesn't it work? What did you expect to occur? What have you tried?

Could you please give details about what your are executing this on, an example of what you are trying to do (smallest reproducible example) and steps to reproduce your error.

I downloaded it as instructed on https://pypi.org/project/auto-py-to-exe/'s Installing Via PyPI section, but when I tried to run it I got this error:

Yep, that worked. Do you have Chrome installed? The issue here was that it could not start Chrome, I guess this as chm.run(options, start_urls) was part of the stacktrace.

Hey @angryparizval could you get a value for me when you're free? Execute the following:

import eel
import os

chrome = eel.chrome.get_instance_path()
print ('eel.chrome.get_instance_path():', chrome)
print ('type:', type(chrome))
print ('Path exsits?:', os.path.exists(chrome))

What is the output? I just curious what eel was picking up as the Chrome location for you. I have a feeling that the exe it is finding doesn't exist, hence then os.path.exists call.
