Same issue. 0.3.5 does work. Looks like pyinstaller during build did not pick up on the python modules.

I wanted to look into it in more detail. Build references a build_executable.spec file to build the stand alone .exe, but I cannot find the file in the repo.

To fix this install pythons, git, then open git bash and follow the steps. Just copy and paste the commands in the git bash app from https://github.com/King4s/OptiScaler-GUI?tab=readme-ov-file#%EF%B8%8F-option-2-development-setup
