Exe file executes properly in Anaconda prompt but not in Windows

[GWModels]

At the Anaconda prompt I used cx_freeze to successfully create an exe. When I double click on exe in Windows the GUI appears and when I run calculations, after depressing button, the GUI indicates that the script is running but instead of a results tab appearing the entire GUI just disappears without any error or traceback. If I run the exe from the Anaconda prompt it appears to run fine.

Cx+freeze indicated that there were the following missing dependencies:
? api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll
? api-ms-win-core-winrt-l1-1-0.dll
? api-ms-win-core-winrt-string-l1-1-0.dll

which are part of the Windows API . Could this be the problem? If so how might I resolve this. Thanks.

What is the version of cx_Freeze? If 8.0, try to use 8.1.

If you are using the gui base, you can change it to console (for debugging purposes) and freeze your application. Then start a command prompt yourself (instead of running in the anaconda prompt) and launch the frozen executable from the command line. This will let you see any error messages in the console.

Thanks for the reply. I'm already using 8.1. What I did to make sure I understood: (1) changed 'GUI' to 'console' in Setup.py and saved (2) I opened an Anaconda prompt, froze the application, (3) I then opened a Windows command prompt and ran the application from there. The gui opened up, I ran the script and the same thing the window collapsed before it could display the result. I checked the Windows command and there were no errors. It just started another line

Can you paste the setup.py here?
Also, can you put some print() in your code to debug/show some information?
Is there a package that you suspect is causing the problem?

Thanks for the reply. Its a 1,000 + line code. Let me work on this a while and I'll get back to you
