Error with Pyinstaller & PyQt5 "Cannot find existing PyQt5 plugin directories"

I work with Anaconda 5.3.0 and Python 3.7.

An application was made and I want to create an executable file with Pyinstaller, the case is that I miss the following error:

Exception: Cannot find existing PyQt5 plugin directories Paths checked: C:/Miniconda3/conda-bld/qt_1535195524645/_h_env/Library/plugins

According to this GitHub error report, there are two main solutions:

  • Run pip install PyQt5 to install the module
  • Include the flag --exclude-module PyQt5 to prevent pyinstaller from trying to include it

The latter seems to work for me.

In the anaconda command prompt try pip install PyQt5. It solved the issue for me.
