you should pack or grid button and entry to show it
e1 = Entry(root)
e1.pack()
Button(root, text="FFFF", command=browser).pack()


in browser function you need to insert text to entry
def browser():
    dir1 = askdirectory(parent=root, title="Select", mustexist=1)
    if len(dir1) > 0:
        e1.insert(0, dir1)
