I don't have experience with these new Windows things (themes, manifests). Are you saying that UxTheme should *never* be bundled with PyInstaller? What if you run the program on an older Python version? If that's the case, it should be added to the excludes list at the top of bindendend.py. -- Giovanni Bajo --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "PyInstaller" group.
