cx_Freeze: Python error in main script

Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: Module use of python33.dll conflicts with this version of Python.

Python33.dll and Python36.dll are both in the application install folder and removing either one of them causes "not found" errors.

This might be an issue with cx_Freeze and/or the project configuration here. I noticed a few issues last time I went to build a windows executable, do not remember if this was one of them. I am considering switching to pyinstaller instead as it seems to work with less reconfiguration when python versions are changed / and updates.

If you do let me know and I'll gladly test.

I am having the same issue. Just upgrade to 4.0.3 and I get the same startup failure.

[arsenetar]

I have updated the source at https://github.com/arsenetar/dupeguru/tree/542 to build using pyInstaller instead of cx_Freeze. I continue to have issues with cx_Freeze and newer version of PyQt5 and python.
Attached here is an installer built using this source, it seems to work fine for me. If you are building from source try that branch, otherwise try the attached version.

Installer: https://github.com/arsenetar/dupeguru/releases/download/4.0.3-InstallFix2/dupeGuru_win64_4.0.3.exe

[torndar]

Installs for me now. Giving it a test run.

Can't get either 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 of dupeGuru to work. Same error as the start of this thread. pyInstaller link above doesn't seem to be there anymore. Is a working version available, do you know?
Thanks.

[arsenetar]

The current 4.0.4 version is built with pyInstaller. The error at the top of this thread should be impossible with 4.0.4 when installed after uninstalling 4.0.3. The files which cause this issue (and the scripts listed in the traceback are no longer present). If you installed 4.0.4 without uninstalling 4.0.3 it is possible that there might be some file left from the 4.0.3 installation which can cause issues.

Thanks, arsenetar. Uninstalling 4.0.3 was the answer. Working fine now.
