Error loading Python dll/ LoadLibrary: The specified module could not be found

I am new at programming. I wrote a small program in python and converted it to .exe file with pyinstaller. Now when i try to open the .exe file a black screen appears and closes immediately. I was able to get a screenshot:

enter image description here

I saw a solution like adding input() at the end of the code but it didn't work either. My code:

import random

print("Hello, what is your name?")
name = str(input())
print("Well, " + name + ", I think of a number between 1 and 1000. Can you guess this number in 10 chances?")
number = random.randint(1, 1001)

for guessTaken in range(1, 11):
  print("Take a guess")
  guess = int(input())
  if guess > number:
    print("The number you think is too high")
  elif guess < number:
    print("The number you think is too low")
  else:
    break

if guess == number:
  print("OK, " + name + ", you guessed the number in " + str(guessTaken) + " guesses")
else:
  print("Unfortunatelly, you couldn't find the number. The number is " + str(number))
Solution

  • This worked for me:

    Had the same issue but then realized that I was inadvertently trying to execute the file in the build folder instead of the dist folder.

    Looks like you might be making the same mistake from your traceback so see if using the executable in dist doesn't fix it for you
