Questions:

1. When I try to install cx_Freeze 5.1.1 in python or via cmd it says:

error: [WinError 3] System can't find path: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.1\lib'

As you see it says \\Windows\\v8.1 but I have windows 10. It seems to me that that's the problem, but how do i fix it?

2. I also downloaded cx_Freeze.whl and tried this in cmd:

python -m pip install C:\Users\Super\Downloads\cx_Freeze-5.1.1-cp37-cp37m-win32.whl

And it says:

succesfully installed

I installed it but what would be the next step because it still doesn't work?

Note, I have:

Python 3.7 32bit

Windows 10

cx_Freeze does not yet support Python 3.7, it has a bug. A bugfix exists but has not yet been released. See e.g. What could be the reason for fatal python error:initfsencoding:unable to load the file system codec?, cx_Freeze crashing Python 3.7.0 and the issues #395 and #407 on cx_Freeze's GitHub repository.

Try one of the following alternative solutions:

  1. Install the latest (not yet released) version of cx_Freeze from the GitHub repository using

    pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/anthony-tuininga/cx_Freeze.git@master

  2. Manually patch your current cx_Freeze installation as described e.g. in this answer.

  3. Roll-back to Python 3.6 if this is an option for you.
