I have 2 files, One is Main.py other one is Autoe.ui, I want both as a single .exe I tried
pyinstaller -w --add-data="Autoe.ui;." Main.py
This works just fine, but it creates lot of other files as well, I wanted just a single exe, So I tried this
pyinstaller.exe -w --onefile --add-data="Autoe.ui;." Main.py
This creates a single .exe but it won't run, I get a pop-up saying "Failed to execute script Main"
I had a similar problem with the Kivy app. In my case it was a kv file, not a ui. Maybe what I did will help you. In the folder with the * .py file I ran the command:
pyinstaller --onefile -y --clean --windowed --icon=someicon.ico main.py
The main.spec file appeared in the folder. I have edited it.

When I edited the spec file, I ran pyintaller again but gave the spec file instead of the * .py file.
pyinstaller main.spec
...that's all. You can also try the GUI version - auto-py-to-exe instead of pyinstaller.
