👋 Hi, just a reminder that if you haven't read the help post yet, give it a read to see if your issue is covered in it and make sure to follow the debugging section.

Also please note, as stated in the README, if your issue is only associated with your application and not auto-py-to-exe itself, please do not create an issue in this repository - instead, comment on the help post, video or create a new discussion.

It looks like your setuptools might be out of date - run pip install setuptools --upgrade to update setuptools

If you create a virtual environment and then install auto-py-to-exe, does this still happen?

Also, you have literally just pasted your error here with no context - this doesn't really give me anything to help you with. Could you maybe fill out the bug template to help me out a bit?
