Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue trying to use pyinstaller to convert my script
into an executable. The problem occurs when I install the software (on
windows 7) in a folder which requires the admin rights (in my case C:
\Program Files (x86)). When I launch the program I get the following
error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 31, in <module>
  File "MyProg\build\pyi.win32\MyProg\outPYZ1.pyz/os", line 150, in
makedirs
  File "MyProg\build\pyi.win32\MyProg\outPYZ1.pyz/os", line 157, in
makedirs
WindowsError: [Error 5] Accesso negato: 'C:/Program Files (x86)/MyProg\
\support'

By running the program as admin everything works and it turns out that
it tries to create in the installation folder the directory support/
gen_py and an empty __init__.py file into it, but since it has not the
necessary rights it fails to start. Since this does not depends on my
script I wonder if it is somehow related to pyinstaller. Any hints? or
are there any workaround to force the resulting executable to not
require admin privileges?
Thanks in advance!
