A few days ago I developed a Python application and managed an executable using the package cx_freeze with the following code:
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
setup(
name = "Minha Aplicação",
version = "",
description = "",
executables = [Executable("app.py", base = "Win32GUI")]
)
On my machine, both the application in script .py how the executable works perfectly, but I decided to test on a friend’s machine to be sure. When my friend ran the program, he was presented with the following error:
I searched the internet about and some people said to add to the parameter options the configuration 'include_msvcr': True for the DLL to be added, as in the example below:
setup(
name = "Keylogger",
version = "",
description = "",
executables = [Executable("keylogger.py", base = "Win32GUI")],
option = {'build_exe': {'include_msvcr': True}}
)
Even adding this setting, the program does not work on my friend’s computer and I am almost sure that this error is not generated because of some import that I have done in the program.
What I want to know is what caused this mistake and how can I solve it ?
You have to install the C++ Visual Runtime. https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/pt-br/visual-cpp-build-tools/ is in redistributable packages of Visual C++ has to download according to the processor of the machine.

@Augustovasques then what is the
include_msvcr? They said this option adds Visual C++ when generating . exe– JeanExtreme002
Jean. If I’m not mistaken this option to package Runtime with the application has stopped working since version 5 of cx_freeze not by depreciation but because of a set of bugs that prevent it from packaging Runtime. You’ll have to search the list problems to achieve a self-sufficient executable.
