Hi Kevin, In the past I have encountered a similar error where the executable is created correctly but windows cannot run it. This happened in windows 10 pro OS. if you have such an OS then you should try installing the media feature pack available at: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/mediafeaturepack
If possible try running the executable in any other version of windows and check if it is a problem of windows or pyinstaller.
