+Create version file using:
+<code>
+pip install pyinstaller_versionfile
+</code>
+<code>
+import pyinstaller_versionfile
+pyinstaller_versionfile.create_versionfile(
+    output_file="version.txt",
+    version="1.2.3.4",
+    company_name="My Imaginary Company",
+    file_description="Simple App",
+    internal_name="Simple App",
+    legal_copyright="© My Imaginary Company. All rights reserved.",
+    original_filename="SimpleApp.exe",
+    product_name="Simple App"
+)
+</code>
+To build as single file with additional data like images, the resource_path function needs to be included and pyinstaller needs to use the --add-data option. On Windows a semicolon is required, on linux a colon works.
+<code>
+wine pyinstaller.exe --onefile --icon=systrayicon.ico --add-data "systrayicon.png;." --version-file=version.txt systraytest.py
+</code>
+Pyinstaller options:
+<code>
+--onefile: Creates a single file. Synonyms: -F
+--windowed: Ensures that no console is opened during execution. Synonyms: -w and --noconsole
+--add-data: adds data to the file using "source:target" or "source;target"
+--version: adds exe file version information
+--icon: adds windows application icon file
