It seems that I can't do fbs freeze from a fresh new fbs startproject
I tried on python 3.8, 3.7 and 3.6 on windows.
```
File "C:\Users\prato\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\runpy.py", line 192, in _run_module_as_main
return _run_code(code, main_globals, None,
File "C:\Users\prato\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code
exec(code, run_globals)
File "C:\Users\prato\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\envs\Creameme\Scripts\pyinstaller.exe__main__.py", line 9, in

Sorry I only have this error on python 3.8.
On 3.6 and 3.7 I have a simple `FileNotFoundError: Could not find api-ms-win-crt-multibyte-l1-1-0.dll`
I don't really know why since i have installed windows sdk (with visual studio to be safe)

I fixed it !
I indeed needed to add the directory containing this file to PATH. I'm so stupid.
Sorry for the spam and thank you for the tutorial.

I have the same problem.
Can you give me more details on how you solved the problem?
What folder you added to the PATH?

Hey @gkssjovi which of the errors are you having? If it's the first --
TypeError: an integer is required (got type bytes)
-- then this is because fbs (and PyInstaller) isn't yet compatible with Python 3.8.

Hi,
Thank you for the reply.
I'm really new on Python Development, I want to create a small app for me.
I have created this project following your tutorial
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/python3 -m venv fbsenv
ls fbsenv/
fbsenv/bin/python3 -V
Python 3.6.8
source fbsenv/bin/activate
(fbsenv) PythonTestApp pip3 install fbs PyQt5 PyInstaller==3.4
Then I have created the project
`fbs startproject`
When I use fbs freeze I got this error.
(fbsenv) PythonTestApp fbs freeze

Sorry, I saw is working now if I use sudo command.
Probably when I have tried before it was a problem with the python version.
I have another problem now. I use dark them on my mac os, and it seems it not recognised when I run the app.
Can you point me to the wright direction since I'm very new on this.

Hi, I will also appreciate the detail of the fix: which directory you added to PATH to fix this issue. I am having the same issue. I have tried to add the directories of virtualenv and fbs project in PATH but still see the same error.

@gkssjovi You will need to use PyQt 5.12.2 or higher as advised in martins article below.
https://www.pythonguis.com/blog/macos-mojave-dark-mode-support-pyqt5122/
I think by default the fbs tutorials use like 5.9.2. So you may need to uninstall and then install this version
pip3 install pyqt5==5.12.2
Then
fbs clean fbs freeze ```

You will need to add the directory for where the sdk was installed to path like how i advised in this commit. If you haven't installed NSIS you should and also add its path
https://github.com/mherrmann/fbs-tutorial/pull/47/files

@martin this information would also be super helpful to have in your video tutorials. It's been awhile since i watched them but if its not in there I'm sure it would make a good addition to show how to install the lightweght SDK, NSIS, and signtool and add their paths to system Path. I spent a few hours one day trying to sort it out cause im not really a windows guy and all the guides make it seem like it should be super simple and gloss over the how. It is easy after you have done it once but starting out the last you want to do i spend an hour digging about the internet for the best proper way to do this.
