I'm trying to covert a python tkinder gui into an executable for my 
collogues with pyinstaller. The console output states that it always runs 
successfully however when I try to open the .exe I get an error message 
saying

Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have 
the appropriate permissions to access them.

I can't find anything online that has been helpful and I'm hoping someone 
might be able to give me a useful hint here.

My initial run is with "pyinstaller my_script.py --onefile --windowed" and 
after the spec is created I'll update the datas array to include 
a .json file that is needed for the script in the form 
of "datas=[('my_json.json', '.')]," (it lives in the same folder as the 
python script). After all this I'll rerun pyinstaller as "pyinstaller 
my_script.spec". But still no luck.

I've notice that in other forums when people post their console output 
there's a line that states: 3780 INFO: Updating manifest in 
"C:\Users\PATH_TO_THEIR_SCRIPT\dist\their_script.exe"

Where as mine states: 3780 INFO: Updating manifest in 
"C:\Users\PATH_TO_MY_SCRIPT\dist\my_script.exe.notanexecutable"

Why does mine have the "notanexecutable" appended?
