Hello All,

Python version: 3.6.6
PyInstaller Version: 3.5
I'm running on Windows 10, and windows server 2016

I've used PyInstaller historically to just create simple exe files for 
others to use my python data automation scripts. I now have a script that 
needs to run on a schedule for getting data moved into a SQL server. 
However, no matter what method I'm using to launch the exe file in the 
background as a sysadmin user without a user interface, the process just 
hangs. I've attempted simplifying the script down to just writing to a 
file, checked permissions, attempted structuring it as a batch file, and 
tried a few different PyInstaller options, to no avail. My Stackoverflow 
post has full info, but I'll paste my code example below.

Recent update:
Most recently, I attempted to remove the code sections accessing files, and 
made it so that it instead accesses a SQL server and writes to it via 
pypyodbc. That appears to work. But, anything touching files in the local 
directory, doesn't work. I've double checked read/write/execute permissions 
on the directory where the EXE file is deployed. Is there something present 
in PyInstall applications that would function differently inside of windows 
when trying to access files as a user without a UI/command prompt?

Thanks for any help/tips for new stuff to try in advance.
