Description

Iv'e tried to package the app countless times with different options, but every time I get the following error message when I start the exe file: "Failed to execute script".

There is no documentation about packaging Eel with Electron, so I'm out of luck right now.

Research direction
Research how Eel integrates with Electron, especially the packaging step. Look at the existing Eel documentation and comments in issue #285 for clues. Check if there is a common solution for 'Failed to execute script' when packaging a Python Electron app. Consider updating the documentation with a packaging guide.
