Making a kivy file into an executable

Question

I tried using the following questions answer but it was not working for me. Kivy: compiling to a single executable The first command I do is pyinstaller --onefile -y --clean --windowed --name launcher --exclude-module _tkinter --exclude-module Tkinter --exclude-module enchant --exclude-module twisted C:/Users/Karl/Documents/aaaSpaceCRAFT/launcher/main.py

Then I edit the spec file so it looks like so

# -*- mode: python -*-
from kivy.deps import sdl2, glew

block_cipher = None


a = Analysis(['C:/Users/Karl/Documents/aaaSpaceCRAFT/launcher/main.py'],
         pathex=['C:\\Users\\Karl\\Documents\\aaaSpaceCRAFT\\launcher'],
         binaries=[],
         datas=[],
         hiddenimports=[],
         hookspath=[],
         runtime_hooks=[],
         excludes=['_tkinter', 'Tkinter', 'enchant', 'twisted'],
         win_no_prefer_redirects=False,
         win_private_assemblies=False,
         cipher=block_cipher)
pyz = PYZ(a.pure, a.zipped_data,
         cipher=block_cipher)

a.datas += [('launcher.kv', 'C:/Users/Karl/Documents/aaaSpaceCRAFT/launcher/launcher.kv', 'DATA')]

exe = EXE(pyz,
      a.scripts,
      a.binaries,
      a.zipfiles,
      a.datas,
      name='launcher',
      debug=False,
      strip=False,
      upx=True,
      runtime_tmpdir=None,
      console=False )

And then I run the following command python -m PyInstaller myapp.spec

But whenever I try to run the exe it opens and immediately closes. I have run it through command line and no errors are given.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It seems I wasn't completely coping the answer to the stack overflow question that I had linked. Once I did it began to work.
