Just encountered the same problem. For reference, you need to install vc redistributable 2010: https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/download/details.aspx?id=5555

I am having the same problem but the log file is empty and when I try to install the VC redistributable 2010 it tells me I already got a newer one:

A newer version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable has been detected on the machine.

Probably cause of the one coming with VS 2019.

I can't find the youtube-dl executable in PATH and it is not located in the GUI folder either.

So no idea how to approach this next.
