That traceback isn't very helpful as it doesn't say what reference to 
__file__ is a problem - but everywhere __file__ is referenced the code 
is trying to find an actual file - often a DLL file.

The traceback also says "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 
'win32evtlog'" - I don't think that's related to __file__.

I've never heard of anyone using pywin32 with pyoxidizer, so you are 
blazing the trail here :)
