I installed cx_Freeze using pip:
C:\Users\Sarah\Documents\PythonScripts>python -m pip install cx_Freeze --upgrade

Successfully installed cx-Freeze-5.0.2
However, I get this error when I try to execute a script:
setup.py build
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Sarah\Documents\PythonScripts\setup.py", line 9, in <module>
from cx_freeze import setup, Executable
ImportError: No module named cx_freeze
When I check the system path, I get all this information
print (sys.path)

I am assuming that somehow, the path to the cx_freeze module is lost in here somewhere. I would really appreciate some simple (novice user) ideas for how to go about fixing this.
I tried copying the folder cx-freeze to the PythonScripts folder but that didn't help.
I know why you are getting this error and I do not think it has anything to do with the file path.
Try:
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
in the place of
from cx_freeze import setup, Executable
in your setup.py script
and this error should fix (you had f not F).
