I was trying to convert my python program to a standalone executable file. However, after running pyinstaller, it runs into an error and doesn't output the file. This is the log:

I also tried using brentvollebregt's auto-py-to-exe but ran into the same error.
Does it have to do with admin rights? Do I have to run command prompt as an admin in order to use pyinstaller? Or do I have to be logged-in as the admin?
