Create your own Pyinstaller bootloader (It is often times more likely to avoid Anti-Virus but not guaranteed)

Build your own bootloader.

1. We want to create a new bootloader for Pyinstaller that uses the Microsoft C/C++ compiler. You can download the Community Edition here https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=Community&channel=Release&version=VS2022&source=VSFeaturesPage&passive=true&tailored=cplus&cid=2031#cplusplus
2. Run the downloaded VisualStudioSetup.exe file.
3. git clone https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller.git
4. Run pip install wheel
5. Change directory into the \pyinstaller\bootloader folder of the cloned repository.
6. Build the bootloader using command ./waf distclean all
7. Run py setup.py install
