Ren'Py IOError: [Errno 22] invalid mode ('rb') or filename ~~ Please help!

Hey guys,

Since updating to Ren'py 7.4.2, I've come across a problem with building the Win/Linux version of my game. This error only seems to happen when I try and build distributions for Win/Linux. There are no issues when I build the MAC distribution. Was wondering if you guys had the same issue or if you could help me out.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/distribute.rpy", line 1564, in <module>
