      I had python 3.8.5 installed on my machine, and I had pyuic5 installed and used it to convert .ui to .py files (using cmd). I recently upgraded to python 3.8.7, and whenever I try to convert now, I get this error:

      C:\Users....>pyuic5 -x Windows.ui -o Windows.py
      Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"d:\program files\python3.8.5\python.exe" "D:\Program Files\Python 3.8.7\Scripts\pyuic5.exe" -x Windows.ui -o Windows.py': The system cannot find the file specified.

      (Note that Python, as well as other modules work perfectly)
      I made sure that pyqt5 and pyuic5 have been installed correctly. I also made sure the python.exe, the python script folder and the PyQt5 folder's paths are added to my environment variables.
      I am no expert, but I believe that cmd is looking for the python.exe file from python3.8.5 folder (which doesn't even exist) instead of the one in python3.8.7 folder.

        UPDATE:
        I pip uninstalled/re-installed the following, and that solved my issue:
        PyQt5
        PyQt5-tools
        PyQt5-sip
        PyQtWebEngine

          Is your Windows.ui is in same location as pyuic5 ?

            Same location as pyuic.py file? Yes, still doesn't work. And before it was in a completely separate file, and there were no issues at all (before python upgrade)! I don't believe the problem is with the .ui file, as typing "pyuic5" only, gives the same error:
            Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"d:\program files\python3.8.5\python.exe" "D:\Program Files\Python 3.8.7\Scripts\pyuic5.exe" ': The system cannot find the file specified.

              This is pointing to 3.8.5

              "D:\Program Files\Python 3.8.7\Scripts\pyuic5.exe"

              This is pointing to 3.8.7

              Both are valid path?

                The second is valid, whereas the first doesn't even exist anymore. Is there a way to redirect it to the new executable's path?

                    As you added python to PATH I do not see any other option. May be some else would know.
