PyInstaller - FileNotFoundError: No such file or directory: ''

I've have seen many posts about this very same error code with many different answers and I still can't fix my problem.

The difference of mine from all the other posts is that I get the following:

317 INFO: Building PKG because PKG-00.toc is non existent
318 INFO: Building PKG (CArchive) PKG-00.pkg

    with open(fnm, "rb") as f:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''

The file in question is '' (No file at all). I'm new to python and PyInstaller and I am really confused about this.

In the CArchive step PyInstaller tries to bundle the Python DLLs. These names are set dependent on the version, and PyInstaller will return an empty string if it's an unsupported version of python. That is what is causing the error. Please use python 3.5-3.7
