Pyinstaller error running script with pyzmq dependency

This is my first StackOverflow post!

I am running into issues creating a pyinstaller(v4.2) executable with a pyzmq (v22.0.2) dependency. I created an executable by running "pyinstaller main.py". The dist folder was created without errors but when I run the executable in the terminal, I see the error in quotes below.

I did a search for this kind of issue on StackOverflow and pyinstaller's documentation with no match to my exact problem. I saw mention of a .spec file for what seemed like similar issues, though I am not sure if this is the way to go since I am unclear what pyzmq.libs\.load_order is.

Does anyone know how to overcome this error or have good leads on what I may try?

I had the same problem and found this solution Downgrade to 21.0.0 using pip install pyzmq==21.0.0 then you can run pyinstaller again and it will run perfectly fine.

Find a folder called 'pyzmq.libs' in your <local-python-path>\Lib\site-packages.

For example, I'm using Miniconda3 here, so I got this at C:\\Users\MyPC\Miniconda3\envs\my_env\Lib\site-packages

Then, copy this folder to your C:\\Users\\[redacted path]\\dist\\main folder, and re-try the executable.
