Error: pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'impacket' distribution was not found and is required by the application

Trying to follow your guide on compiling the binaries and am constantly getting the error below when i run the complied binary. I've searched everywhere but I can't find any hints. What could I be doing wrong?

Traceback (most recent call last):

I have never had this bug before as this get_distribution code is quite recent.

It seems to be an common issue related to PyInstaller not copying metadata before packaging, you can fix it by creating a specific hook for impacket, like documented here and here.
