# Kivy + PyInstaller + Windows issue
---
After packaging Kivy application for Windows using PyInstaller ***Unable to get a Window, abort.*** error could apper.
When console is activated for window application log would look something like this:
```
[DEBUG ] [ImageSDL2 ] Load
[WARNING] [Image ] Unable to load image
[CRITICAL] [Window ] Unable to find any valuable Window provider. Please enable debug logging
(e.g. add -d if running from the command line, or change the log level in the config)
and re-run your app to identify potential causes
sdl2 - Exception: SDL2: Unable to load image

[CRITICAL] [App ] Unable to get a Window, abort.
```
The problem is that PyInstaller don't include two DLL files into package:
```
libpng16-16.dll
zlib1.dll
```
They should be added manually to the package for exe file to run properly. They are in ***\venv\share\sdl2\bin*** of current project.
Copy them *(for example)* to ***\dlls***, and add line in ***main.spec*** file in ***Analysis*** class:
```
binaries=[('dlls/libpng16-16.dll', '.'), ('dlls/zlib1.dll', '.')],
```
Then run
```
pyinstaller main.spec
```
This time application should work.
