I used pynsist in linux to create an installer for windows of my python app.-no errors/warnings
When I looked into the nsis file it created, there was a file with .exe extension, launch.pyw, and a default .ico file.
I copied the nsis file and pasted in a folder on a Windows machine.
I selected the .launch.pyw file which started the install. The setup and extraction executed without any warnings/errors.
I went to the install folder and the .exe file does not show up now but an uninstall does. No shortcut displayed anywhere on main screen either.
When I click on the .pyw or the .ico file it asks me what app i want to open with. I tried opening the .pyw file with the packaged python- wrote a few lines to a screen which immediately closed and that was it.
Any ideas on how to open app. and what I am missing would be appreciated?
