fbs freeze error: FileNotFoundError: Could not find msvcr110.dll on your PATH.

Hi, I've being using fbs with python 3.6 to create an executable. After running the command fbs freeze this error came out to me. Even if I have installed Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012, the same result persists. If someone could help me it would be really nice. Thanks you

Hi every one!!

Sadly I didn't solve the issue. I tried, I've read the documentation but the fbs freeze didn't work at all. I think you should try the Pyinstaller. It worked really well for me. Let me now if you have any questions

I have this problem, too

Hello everyone, I also had this issue and I managed to solve it.

In my case, on Windows 10, I had to install the Win10 SDK and then add the subfolder of the SDK installation which contains the .dll files to PATH in my environment variables. After doing this, it works like a charme.

Still facing this same issue today on Windows 10 and 11. @matetothde could you explain a bit more how to do this (beginner programmer here). Where do you find the subfolder and how do you add this to PATH?
