The executable runs perfectly on the system where I built it, but crashes with the following errors on the other systems I've tried...
Traceback(most recent call last):

ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.
I've read about some of the missing DLL issues like QWindows.DLL and libEGL.dll however it looks like cx_Freeze-4.3.3 has fixed those problems as those dlls are included in the build folder.
Built in 32 bit Python 3.4, with PyQt 5.3 and cx_Freeze 4.3.3
Here's the list of files in the build folder
icudt49.dll
icuin49.dll
icuuc49.dll
libEGL.dll
libGLESv2.dll
library.zip
monitor_edi.exe
msvcr100.dll
pyexpat.pyd
pyodbc.pyd
PyQt5.QtCore.pyd
PyQt5.QtGui.pyd
PyQt5.QtWidgets.pyd
python34.dll
pywintypes34.dll
Qt5Core.dll
Qt5Gui.dll
Qt5Widgets.dll
qwindows.dll
select.pyd
sip.pyd
tcl86t.dll

Any thoughts/suggestions/questions?
You'll need to make sure that cx_Freeze is including the atexit module. I'm not really clear on why this is, but the cx_Freeze PyQt example includes this. If you're using the cxfreeze script you can make sure this happens with the --include=atexit option. If you're invoking cx_Freeze from your own setup.py script it might look something like this code adapted from my own work in progress:
import sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
base = None
if sys.platform == 'win32':
base = 'Win32GUI'
setup(name = 'spamandeggs',
version = '0.0.1',
executables = [Executable('spamandeggs.pyw', base=base)],
options = {'build_exe': {'includes': ['atexit']}})
If you're using the PyQt5.Qsci plugin, by the way, you'll also need to explicitly include PyQt5.QtPrintSupport. And I have found that I do still need to copy libEGL.dll in after cx_Freeze has done its stuff, but I'm also using cx_Freeze 4.3.3 so I'm not sure why that is.
