I have decompiled exe using pyextractor script and generated these files:

PYZ-00.pyz
PYZ-00.pyz_extracted
gui
pyi_rth_tkinter
pyi_rth_multiprocessing
pyi_rth_pkgres
pyi_rth_win32comgenpy
pyiboot01_bootstrap
pyimod01_os_path
pyimod02_archive
pyimod03_importers
struc

I know that gui is the entry file. After updating header of gui , decompiled it to gui.py file. (my process is similar to this one https://hshrzd.wordpress.com/2018/01/26/solving-a-pyinstaller-compiled-crackme/)

My question is how to generate exe file so that it contains all the files from PYZ-00.pyz_extracted folder?

You can extract some file from .exe using pyi-archive_viewer, modify them and put back. But be attention, all files in .exe are compressed using DEFLATE (zlib.compress() - you can watch this in source code of PyInstaller). So, when putting back you need compress file to the exact size, that was when you extracted it.
