PyInstaller error with python script that uses OpenCV and VPython (DOS Header magic not found)

I am trying to generate exe file from a script that uses openCV and Vpython however I am having problems with it. I tried using pyinstaller with a simple print script it worked fine. when I try it with openCV only script it did not work and the same with Vpython only script, and both. the error I am getting is this: 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Python27\Scripts\pyinstaller-script.py", line 11, in <module>

I have:

PyInstaller: 3.2.1
Python: 2.7.13 x64
Platform: Windows-8.1 x64

what to do?

A better place to pose VPython questions is in the VPython forum at

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups&hl=en#!forum/vpython-users

There you might find VPython users who have experience with PyInstaller (I don't).
