Unhandled exception error while running the YOLO (ultralytics) included script.

[haqueshenas]

I can not convert some versions of my python codes which include the YOLO models (neither using "one file", nor with "one directory" ). Below is the log:

You need to collect the data files from ultralytics package - for example, add --collect-data ultralytics to your PyInstaller command.

[haqueshenas]

Thanks. I used the collect data option (for collecting ultralystics and YOLO), but also faced another error when tried to build a "One file" .exe:
"C:\Users\Markazi.co\Desktop>EQ.exe
[16204] SPLASH: Cannot find requirement VCRUNTIME140.dll in archive."

However, 20 seconds after running the exe file, the GUI opened and another error appeared which was about a model file I had included in the package and added in the auto-py-to-exe additional files. Below is the complete log of the console:

C:\Users\Markazi.co\Desktop>EQ.exe

What version of PyInstaller are you using?

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'easyquadrat2.pt'

Looks like you are trying to load a file using relative path, which is non-portable. In onefile builds, the collected files are not in the current working directory, so you need to reference them via absolute paths, anchored to the __file__ attribute. As described in the manual: https://pyinstaller.org/en/stable/runtime-information.html#using-file

Thanks. I am using PyInstaller 6.2.0 and pyinstaller-hooks-contrib 2023.10. I will upgrade them and try to rebuild the exe file using the revised file paths. Besides, can you please give me some references to 1. Reduce the initial time of opening the .exe file (particularly in One file mode)? Now, it takes 1 to 2 minutes! 2. How to reduce the size of .exe file, if possible?

Thanks. I am using PyInstaller 6.2.0 and pyinstaller-hooks-contrib 2023.10. I will upgrade them and try to rebuild the exe file using the revised file paths.

Yeah, the issue with splash and VCRUNTIME140.dll in onefile mode should be fixed in 6.3.0 (#8106).

Besides, can you please give me some references to 1. Reduce the initial time of opening the .exe file (particularly in One file mode)? Now, it takes 1 to 2 minutes!

Don't use onefile mode. It is not meant for large applications (such as ones using torch).

2. How to reduce the size of .exe file, if possible?

If you have to ask, then you probably can't. Most of the size comes from shared libraries and extensions in your dependencies (e.g., torch), and there's nothing you can do about those.

[haqueshenas]

Now, I have updated PyInstaller. The issue with Splash has not been resolved in One file mode; however, there are no errors in One directory mode. Additionally, I discovered that antivirus can significantly impact initialization and processing speed. By temporarily disabling protection, I was able to resolve the speed issue in One directory mode. I am currently facing another problem: I cannot determine why, during code execution in One directory mode, the program initializes again, causing the main GUI window to reappear. No apparent reason has been identified in the code.
Thanks a lot.

If your program is executed multiple times, your code (or 3rd party code you are using) might be using multiprocessing. We know that's the case with ultralytics - see #8211. You need to call multiprocessing.freeze_support at the start of your program; see https://pyinstaller.org/en/latest/common-issues-and-pitfalls.html#multi-processing for details.

[haqueshenas]

Yes! This error was fixed by adding the respective lines. Maybe as the last question here, please let me know if I should add any copyright file or text in my package for PyIstaller.
Thank you.
