This happened to me too. I looked at the error message generated and it said 
this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "spraygen.py", line 476, in convert
  File "shutil.pyo", line 88, in copy
  File "shutil.pyo", line 52, in copyfile
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 
'vtex\\materialsrc\\vgui\\logos\\output-0.tga'
It seems that it is missing the file output-0.tga, but the file isn't inlcuded. 
I'll see if there is an earlier version that has this file.

where did you extract the zip file?  did you extract it with all the folder 
structure in tact?

make sure the program has access to write to where you extracted it.  also make 
sure your .gif file is valid.

the output.tga files are extracted frames from the gif that it assembles into 
the texture .vtex.  if it can't find them, either the gif isn't valid or 
working with the extraction process, or maybe the program can't write the 
output files due to permissions?

Okay, I had a look and it turns out that the files that are decompiled are 
moved to the tga folder instead of the vtex/materialsrc... folder. This is not 
too much of a problem though. All you have to do is change where the output 
goes and the rest should work.

Sorry for all the comments, I found this is the easiest way to make sprays.
First, download the most recent version of spraygen.
Decompile the files by opening spragen.exe.
When the process is complete, close the window.
It will appear up with an error message, but ignore it.
Open up VTFEdit and Import all the .tga files in the tga folder.
VTFEdit will recompile it into .vtf, all that needs to be done is to open up 
the spray resource folder (C:/Program 
FIles(x86)/Steam/steamapps/"username"/teamfortress2/tf/materials/vgui/logos) 
and save it there. Open TF2 and it should be there.
