Windows install does not create .exe, shortcut,etc to open

[hammer]

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?

More Info: I found a log file shown below that indicates no text provider! It says to change log level in the config. My install.cfg does not seem to have a log level. Anybody see what I am missing?

From the docs, in the disadvantages:

You don’t get an exe for your application, just a start menu shortcut to launch it.

Check the Start menu for a shortcut to launch the script.

Note, that is assuming you did everything right in the cfg to include required third-party dependencies (Kivy, etc.?)

Thank you. I did not know that. My problem seems to still with no text provider.

Went back and performed what was recommended on StackOverflow for this error-see below: created a new install, went through set up but still got same text provider error:

   pip install --upgrade pip wheel setuptools
   pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy-deps.sdl2 kivy-deps.glew 
   pip install kivy-deps.gstreamer 
   pip install kivy-deps.angle 
   pip install –-upgrade kivy 

When i performed above though three gave a "no matching distribution" comment which I have not figured out why yet.

Any general comments are helpful.

Consider this Rectified.
I have learned that if any package or dependency is not 100% python then pynsist will not work-fine print I guess!!!! ie, Kivy has some C code.
