pyinstaller cannot open 'EndUpdateResourceW'

Viewed 34

I tried to compile my app after updating pyinstaller, and it seems to run into this weird error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\users\\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib\site-packages\win32ctypes\pywin32\pywintypes.py", line 35, in pywin32error
    yield

    raise make_error(function, function_name)
OSError: [WinError 110] The system cannot open the device or file specified.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Anyone ran into similar problems? I updated pyinstaller because I was running into issues with the google core hook, now that worked but this became an issue.
