    ImportError: No module named 'cx_Freeze.util'

That is the following error i get at the bottom. I have tried to fix it alot of diffrent ways but i just cant seem to be able to fix this module issue. Any help is greatly appreciated

Solution

  • That error implies that your installation of cx_Freeze is broken. You can install a pre-built version from PyPI by issuing the following command:

    python -m pip install cx_Freeze --upgrade
