So I made a basic python script and converted it into an exe. When I made the script into an exe I was so excited and wanted to send it to my uncle .I compressed the script and a few files and images into a zip and
sent it to my uncle .When he opened the exe it failed and he realised that the error could be because I saved the images on drive D:/, when he unzipped the zip file it didn't save on his D drive.

While the exe works my computer it doesn't work on his so I'm trying to find out how to make the images not drive specific.

  • rather than saving on D, save on current folder, using just the filename and not the full path, maybe that will sort the problem out? – Je Je Dec 29 '22 at 18:14
  • I used cx_Freeze to create the windows exe – Mielutu Nelutu Dec 29 '22 at 18:23
  • and when I try to do what Je Je says it writes FileNotFoundError: No such file or directory – Mielutu Nelutu Dec 29 '22 at 18:25
  • `import os` `os.chdir(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))`.

  • I try to do what you said but it gives me this error: – Mielutu Nelutu Dec 29 '22 at 18:33

  • I never told you to us it like that. Read [Could not open resource file, pygame error: "FileNotFoundError: No such file or directory."](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58177145/could-not-open-resource-file-pygame-error-filenotfounderror-no-such-file-or). Just put `import os` and `os.chdir(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))` at the begin of your code, but do not change anything else. – Rabbid76 Dec 29 '22 at 18:36
  • I did it what is next – Mielutu Nelutu Dec 29 '22 at 18:44
  • Now the " FileNotFoundError: No such file or directory" error should be gone. – Rabbid76 Dec 29 '22 at 18:45

#create directory like this

application folder name (folder)
        └── your application.exe

        └── imgs (folder)
                |__ image.png
                |__ image2.png

[![enter image description here][1]][1]

in script use file paths like this

image1_path = "imgs\image.png"

image2_path = "imgs\image2.png"
