Pyinstaller: Images fail to extract

I run the build command and everything appears to build correctly until I try to launch the exe and this message pops up:

Here is my spec file, I am not sure why it appears to be combing the file path with both images.

block_cipher = None

a = Analysis(['TripCalc.py'],
         pathex=['C:\\Users\\test\\Downloads\\TripApp'],
         binaries=[],
         datas=[('C:\\Users\\test\\Downloads\\TripApp\\BennySM.ico', 'C:\\Users\\test\\Downloads\\TripApp\\BgSM.gif')],
         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,
      a.binaries,
      a.zipfiles,
      a.datas,
      name='TripCalc',
      debug=False,
      strip=False,
      upx=True,
      console=False , 
icon='C:\\Users\\test\\Downloads\\TripApp\\Benny.ico')

I tried adding the files beside datas:

('Benny.ico', 'C:\\Users\\test\\Downloads\\TripApp\\BennySM.ico', 'data', 'BgSM.gif', 'C:\\Users\\test\\Downloads\\TripApp\\BgSM.gif', 'data')

But it would not build with the ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2).

I followed the example from this post on how to add the file path to the main python file. Bundling data files with PyInstaller --onefile

I am able to build the exe and run it with the images commented out. Any help would be much appreciated.

When I get the Value Error message I setup the spec file with the following:

block_cipher = None

a = Analysis(['TripCalc.py'],
         pathex=['C:\\Users\\test\\Downloads\\TripApp'],
         binaries=[],
         datas=[('Benny.ico','C:\\Users\\test\\Downloads\\TripApp\\BennySM.ico','data','BgSM.gif','C:\\Users\\test\\Downloads\\TripApp\\BgSM.gif','data')],
         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,
      a.binaries,
      a.zipfiles,
      a.datas,
      name='TripCalc',
      debug=False,
      strip=False,
      upx=True,
      console=False , 
icon='C:\\Users\\test\\Downloads\\TripApp\\Benny.ico')

Error window

With those changes to the spec file everything builds but the failed to launch script pops up when launching the exe. If they got packed with the exe they should be locationed in the temp file in app data correct?

From the docs:

Adding Data Files:

To have data files included in the bundle, provide a list that describes the files as the value of the datas= argument to Analysis. The list of data files is a list of tuples. Each tuple has two values, both of which must be strings:

The first string specifies the file or files as they are in this system now. The second specifies the name of the folder to contain the files at run-time.

So your datas line will need to be something like:

datas=[
    ('C:\\Users\\test\\Downloads\\TripApp\\BennySM.ico', 'data'),
    ('C:\\Users\\test\\Downloads\\TripApp\\BgSM.gif', 'data'),
],
