   I got somewhere with this one Windows. Happy to formalize this into a detailed example if needed.

   Zip Installer is obtained by

   python setup.py bdist
   

   MSI Installer is obtained by

   python setup.py bdist_msi
   

   #setup.py
   from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib
   from os.path import join
   from glob import glob
   from cx_Freeze import setup, Executable
   
   # Basically just copy all of the CEF distribution into the installer
   # I have only tested this on windows
   cefPath = join(get_python_lib(), "cefpython3")
   CEF_INCLUDES = glob(join(cefPath, "*"))
   CEF_INCLUDES.remove(join(cefPath, "examples"))
   
   setup(
       name = "MyAppName",
       version = "1.0.0",
       options = {
           "build_exe": {
           'packages': ["os","sys","ctypes","win32con", "json"],
           'include_files': CEF_INCLUDES + ['otherResourceFolder'],
           'include_msvcr': True,
       }},
       executables = [Executable("app.py", base="Win32GUI")]
   )

   This appears to no longer work:
   [0511/153708.613:ERROR:icu_util.cc(172)] Invalid file descriptor to ICU data received.
   Completely deleting icudtl.dat gives the same error. Likely the path to the file is build in an incompatible way.

   I got the same error using PyInstaller.
