title: How to fix Pyinstaller making an executable that doesn't run
body: <p>I'm running python 3.7.0 32 bit version. I'm having issues turning a script into an executable. Pyinstaller successfully creates the build and dist folders and I have an executable but it doesn't do anything when I run it.</p>
  
  <p>I've read other issues and I've used set Path=%Path%;C:\Windows\System32\downlevel; and i don't receive any warning about my dll files so they're all good. I have also tried on python 3.6.2 and experienced the same issues, I'm not sure whats going on.</p>
  
  <p>This is the Hello World program I tried to do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import tkinter as tk
  class Go:
      def __init__(self,root):
          self.master = root
          self.frame = tk.Frame(self.master)
          self.testLabel = tk.Label(self.frame,text='hello world')
          self.testLabel.grid(row=0,column=0)
          self.frame.pack()
  
  def main():
      root = tk.Tk()
      root.geometry('600x600')
      app = Go(root)
  
  if __name__ == '__main__':
      main()
  </code></pre>

  <p>My expected goal is to have an executable that actually shows something. Any help please?</p>
  
  <p>Edit:
  I just tried to do a simple program that does the main then prints hello world and the same issue occurred, the executable brings the cmd up for like 1 second then crashes or just stops and nothing happens</p>
