Answer 1

I faced the same issue and was stuck for 6 hours hunting for the right answer. Now its working for me after I did the following steps:

1. Uninstall all the Python interpreters.
2. Download Python-2.7.16.amd64 version (for 64-bit OS) or Python-2.7.16 version(for 32-bit OS).
3. Go to This PC -> Advanced system Settings -> Environmental Variables
4. Select Path and click Edit
5. Add the following paths: a. C:\Python27\Scripts\ b. C:\Python27\
6. Open cmd
7. Type "pip install pyinstaller"

8. After pyinstaller is installed, navigate to the folder where your program is (i.e in tkinter GUI)

9. In cmd, type:

   pyinstaller program.py

That will fix your problems.

The solution I was found was uninstalling all the Python Interpreters and installing 2.7 version.

P.S. New to stackoverflow
