Created exe from .py using pyinstaller has issues with tensorflow path - python-3.x

Question

Using pyinstaller I have created an exe from python script.
The script has dependency on tensorflow. The package is created perfectly.
The issue is when I run the exe.
Python 3.6.5
Pyinstaller 3.3.1
Build platform : Win 8.1 64bit
Running platform Win 7 64bit
C:\Program Files\test\FaceDetectionPackageBeta1\dist\FaceDetection>FaceDetection.exe
Using TensorFlow backend.

[4988] Failed to execute script TELFaceDetection
Below is the spec file
# -*- mode: python -*-
block_cipher = None
a = Analysis(['FaceDetection.py'],
pathex=['D:\\FaceDetectionSetup\\FaceDetectioPackageSource'],
binaries=[],
datas=[],
hiddenimports=[],
hookspath=[],
runtime_hooks=[],
excludes=[],
win_no_prefer_redirects=False,
win_private_assemblies=False,
cipher=block_cipher)
pyz = PYZ(a.pure, a.zipped_data,
cipher=block_cipher)
exe = EXE(pyz,
a.scripts,
exclude_binaries=True,
name='FaceDetection',
debug=False,
strip=False,
upx=True,
console=True )
coll = COLLECT(exe,
a.binaries,
a.zipfiles,
a.datas,
strip=False,
upx=True,
name='FaceDetection')
I have tried the solution in link, but that does not work either. when I execute the exe, No module named tensorflow.python.framework.load_library error is received.
How do I set the path so that relative path is picked.
The same worked without any issues on Win 7 64bit desktop system.So working on one system and not on the other.Any help appreciated.
Thanks

if getattr(sys, 'frozen', False):
appPath = os.path.dirname(sys.executable)
else:
appPath = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
Using this code you can specify your application directory path variable for executable as well as when running .py directly.
