Hi, I would start from scratch with this.
1. You have latest Python 2 version. 2. Use virtualenv to create and activate a new virtual environment. 3. pip install wxPython and other dependencies. 4. Get your application running from the command line first and follow up any DLL exceptions. 5. Use pyinstaller (https://pyinstaller.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) to create a new exe file once you know everything works.
