Describe the bug
when running python setup.py build one project is building sucessfully and another is facing issues in building, given path for both project is same that is E:\PycharmProjects. I have uninstall and re-install cx freeze in that project but the error still exists. I even tried installing different versions still the error exists.

Error:

This bug doesn't exist anymore. Try the latest version 7.2.10.

EDIT:
And if I remember correctly, it didn't work with py 3.12, but it worked with py 3.10.

[AliAsgerSaify]

I have upgraded the module to 7.2.10. In the latest version also there is an error, below is the produced error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:\PycharmProjects\pdf2Text\setup.py", line 1, in

from msilib import ( # pylint: disable=deprecated-module
...<15 lines>...
)
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'msilib'

my python version is 3.13.1. Sorry for mistake

[marcelotduarte]

cx_Freeze doesn't support (yet) Python 3.13.

You can test the latest development build:

pip uninstall cx_Freeze
pip install --extra-index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ cx_Freeze --pre --no-cache
