Hey! It seems like error is telling that you need admin rights on your pc to access the file!
or

---

if you are admin and cannot try to go in properties by right click and then in attributes uncheck the read only option!

HOPE IT HELPS!

I have admin rights and the read only option is already unchecked. Still does'nt work.

Hmmm Then Try to run python in admin and then execute your scripts!

As mention this is a admin rights problem accessing files.
You do also use a Windows Store version of Python(this can also make trouble),think we had a post(pyinstaller) about this before.
So i would remove that version and use Python 3.8 (3.6-3.7) and pip installation under Windows.

Couple of advise.
Run cmd as Administrator.

Make a virtual environment(build into python venv) as posted here.
This is like new version of Python,and admin problem or other problem with install is usually gone using when using virtual environment.

Thank you. I've deleted python 3.8 and dowloaded 3.9 from python.org and run it as admin. It worked. It converted my py file to exe. But now when i click on my test.exe file i get this error "Failed to execute script test".

It may be that it to early for Python 3.9 and pyinstaller,i have not tested yet.
Requirements and Tested Platforms

pyinstaller Wrote:Python:
3.5-3.8

tinyaes 1.0+ (only if using bytecode encryption). Instead of installing tinyaes, pip install pyinstaller[encryption] instead.

Was the same in early stages when Python 3.8 came out,it tok some time before it did work official in pyinstaller.

Can try the development version,will have the earliest test support foe Python 3.9

pip install https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/tarball/develop

For now so early after Python 3.9 came out,it can be best to Python 3.8 in need to use pyinstaller.

After downloading

pip install https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/tarball/develop

it works now. Thank you.
