PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied when saving a txt file with pyinstaller

I want to create a simple .exe file based on tkinter code. For now, I just want the .exe to save a .txt file when a button is clicked.

When running the tkinter code, it works without problem.

However, when I try to run the .exe file which is produced with pyinstaller, I get the error:

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied "C:\Users\path\to\file.txt"

I have tried to run the .exe file as an admin and the error still occurs.

Here is the simple tkinter_code:

import tkinter as tk  def test() :      directory = r'C:\Users\Path\to\file.txt'     with open(directory, 'w') as f:         print(directory)         f.write('readme')          #Instantiate the window my_w = tk.Tk() my_w.geometry("800x600")  # Size of the window  my_w.title('test')  b2 = tk.Button(my_w, text='Generate file',     width=20,command = lambda:test())    b2.grid(row = 1, column = 1)   if __name__ == '__main__':     my_w.mainloop() 

I create the .exe with:

pyinstaller --onefile test.py 

Any help would be appreciated & Thanks in advance.
