How to compiler PyAnsys to Execution File

[ChuLake]

Hi All,
As title, I tried to use pyinstaller to compiler pyansys as exe, but it doesn't work. The error message always shows
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'C:\users\........\app\apdl\VERSION'
How should I do to bypass this error? Many Thanks.

Hi @ChuLake

We will need more information to help you with this. What exactly do you want to compile as exe? PyMAPDL? What is the purpose of that? So far we do not support that, but we are happy to help you out as much as we can.

Hi，
I meet the same problem，I tried to use pyinstaller to compiler pyansys as exe, too.
Actually, I am develop a software can create ansys apdl model automatic, so I need to use pyinstaller to compiler pyansys as exe.
I also tried py2exe and cx_Freeze, but they didnt work.
The error are as follows:

This is not a normal method, but you can move the 'ansys' folder in site-packages to another location before compiling and specify the 'ansys' folder with '--add-data'.
I hope someone can fix this bug.
