Missing dll files when using pyinstaller
Question: Good day!

I'm using python 3.5.2 with qt5, pyqt5 and sip14.8. I'm also using the latest
pyinstaller bracnch (3.3.dev0+g501ad40).

I'm trying to create an exe file for a basic hello world program.

    
    
    from PyQt5 import QtWidgets
    import sys
    
    class newPingDialog(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
    
    def __init__(self):
        super(newPingDialog, self).__init__()
        self.setGeometry(50, 50, 500, 300)
        self.setWindowTitle("hello!")
        self.show()
    
    
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    GUI = newPingDialog()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())
    

At first, I used to get some errors regarding crt-msi. So I've reinstalled SDK
and c++ runtime and added them to my environment. But now I keep getting
errors about missing dlls (qsvg, Qt5PrintSupport)

I've checked and both dlls exist and have their PATH set. I also tried to
manually add them to my dist folder, but it didn't helped.

I'll highly appreciate any advice you might have!


Answer: This may be more like a workaround and Pyinstaller might need fixing.

I found out that `--paths` argument pointing to the directory containing
_Qt5Core.dll_ , _Qt5Gui.dll_ , etc. helped

    
    
    pyinstaller --paths C:\Python35\Lib\site-packages\PyQt5\Qt\bin hello.py
