The developer (or someone else more knowledgeable than myself) can probably give you an answer that isn't a guess, but I'd try two things:

  1. Change "python3" to "python3.exe" (or python.exe, that's what it is for me).
  2. Get rid of the -dir parameter, or at least use single backslashes in the path rather than double.

Personally I'd also recommend that you use -j and compile the page images into a PDF yourself, since that way you have more control over how that happens, but that's just me. Also, back in the day I had problems with the PDF portion of the script and commented out the part that imports it, I think.

You've removed the filename of the script. Like, you're supposed to still have "archive-org-downloader.py" after "python.exe".

It's all good! Really, the developer is the one who deserves the thanks, I don't know the first thing about actually coding in Python, and this script has helped me immensely too.
