cx_freeze gives input and file errors

I've seen similar problems on different forums, but none applies to this.

I have two files, one 'main.py' and the main program 'xlsKonverter.py' which I want to use cx_freeze to compile to an .exe file. When building the .exe I get this error message:

pywintypes.error: (110, 'EndUpdateResource', 'The system cannot open the device or file specified.')

And when trying to run the (somewhat finished) build, this Exception pops up:

enter image description here

I've tested all of my code, so the error is not there. It must be somewhere within the setup file. Am I wrong? And what would be a good fix?

'setup.py'

This is my cx_freeze setup

import sys
from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable

build_exe_options = {"packages": ["os"], "excludes": ["tkinter"]}

packages = ['xlrd', 'glob', 'sys']
includes = ['xlsKonverter']
includefiles = []

eggsacutibull = Executable(
    script = "main.py",
    base = 'Console',
    initScript = None,
    targetName = "main.py",
    compress = True,
    copyDependentFiles = True,
    appendScriptToExe = False,
    appendScriptToLibrary = False,
    icon = None
    )

setup(  name = "Table Converter",
        version = "0.3",
        author = "Jørgen Sirhaug",
        description = "Makes a .csv file from designated Wire List.",
        options = {"build_exe": build_exe_options},
        executables = [eggsacutibull]
        )

'main.py'

, my main function

import xlsKonverter as xk
import os.path
import sys

def main():

fileList = xk.getAllFileURLsInDirectory("C:\\Users\\Jørgen\\Dropbox\\Aker\\Wire Lists\\")
if len(fileList) < 1:
    print("ERROR! No files in directory!\nDoes the specified folder excist?")
else:
    print('')
    for i in range(len(fileList)):
        try:
            sheet = xk.getWorksheet(fileList[i])
            tagCols = xk.automaticFirstRow(sheet)
            pairedList = xk.pairCells(sheet, tagCols)
            csvString = xk.makecsv(pairedList)#, tagCols)
            xk.writeToFile(csvString, i)
        except:
            print("ERROR!\n" + fileList[i] + '\nThis file does not excist!')

main()

and the imports from 'xlsKonverter.py'

import xlrd
import glob
import sys

Try putting an encoding declaration in your main.py file. That's a comment that looks like this:

# encoding: cp1252

You might have to change the last bit depending on how you're saving the file. If it's created on Windows, cp1252 is normal for Western Europe. On Linux and Mac, utf8 is more common.
