[Solved] Running app frozen with PyInstaller(used module pywebview)

Hi, I had created an app with pywebview and wanted to freeze it with PyInstaller. In the python code, I used a relative path for the html file link.(Resources\mainhtm.html). I used PyInstaller to freeze it with : PyInstaller -w -F --add-data "WebBrowserInterop.x86.dll;./" --add-data "Microsoft.Toolkit.Forms.UI.Controls.WebView.dll;./" --add-data "Microsoft.Toolkit.Forms.UI.Controls.WebView.LICENSE.md;./" --ADD-DATA "RESOURCES\MAINHTM.HTML;.\RESOURCES\MAINHTM.HTML" "File Name.py" (I hadn't written it in caps. I have written it here just to highlight it.) Everything works fine. But the problem is on opening the exe, I don't get the mainhtml but instead (see this) : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1podRqb4jXxkqNVBXAuk0lU8QaGgNQTQ1/view?usp=sharing Where clicking on the blue mainhtm.html link does the desired work. Why do I have to click it? Users shouldn't need to click it. It works when the file is not frozen. (I have the other add datas)(Am using platform Windows)

The Problem is solved. The above command was putting the mainhtm.html in Resources\mainhtm.html\mainhtm.html. I modified the command to : PyInstaller -w -F --add-data "WebBrowserInterop.x86.dll;./" --add-data "Microsoft.Toolkit.Forms.UI.Controls.WebView.dll;./" --add-data "Microsoft.Toolkit.Forms.UI.Controls.WebView.LICENSE.md;./" --ADD-DATA "RESOURCES\MAINHTM.HTML;.\RESOURCES" "File Name.py" (not in caps) This worked.
