No Python installation? Well, that error msg says.. Okay, could be caused by py2exe, I don't know.

Please just try youtube-dl.exe -v URL from your cmd, or from a batch file, you get the idea..

Try copying and pasting the test it's easier on the devs. Use --verbose so the problem can be examined.

Possibly a duplicate of #2919. Do you have Cyrillic characters in the path?

As reported by @danfiscus at #9529, on 64-bit systems, put youtube-dl.exe in \Windows\Systems32 causes similar errors. Can anyone try https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/3065#issuecomment-45716079?

This one?

You can put youtube-dl into, say, C:\ytdl, and then add C:\ytdl to your PATH to be able to run youtube-dl from any directory again.

Why shouldn't this work?

#3065 is a proposed solution. The one not working is \Windows\System32.

Yes...
Any subdir inside of C:\ in the PATH works, as it should.

System32 is a special directory of the OS, I would not recommend to randomly put binaries in there, etc.
So what exactly is the issue?

Some people did put youtube-dl.exe in System32 and got errors. I guess @Tox86 is one of them, and I need his/her feedback before closing this issue.
