I faced the same issue tomorrow and I found that you just have to download that dat file and place it in your project folder with python file. the link is : http://dlib.net/files/shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat.bz2 , just download it and extract it and re-run the program it should be fine.

Use pyinstaller -c PyFileName.py (with console) or pyinstaller -w PyFileName.py (without console) instead of pyinstaller --onefile PyFileName.py. Then add folder containing face_recognition models .dat files. Example, "face_recognition_models/models/shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat" in the same folder of the executable file.

what will be the file structure if i am adding "face_recognition_models/models/shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat" in code. Because i added this file as binary but exe file still showing the same error.
