This doesn't make much sense... Can you tell me what your PATH environment 
variable is?
You can see it by typing:
echo %PATH%
in the console, or by following this screenshot:
http://damnvid.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/img/win32-setpath.noinclude.png

Better yet, do both and see if the value is the same.

• Added labels: Priority-High, OpSys-Windows
• Removed labels: Priority-Medium

PATH was:
C:\Perl\site\bin;C:\Perl\bin;C:\Program Files\Common Files\NetSarang;C:\Program 
Files\ThinkPad\Utilities;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem
;C:\Program Files\Intel\Wireless\Bin\;;C:\Program

I made some changes:

Installed 1.6 and it worked.

THANKS ALOT

Ah, indeed, this was due to some blank PATH components. I am setting the 
priority to "Low" because this bug happens in a very specific case (a 
user-edited PATH with blank stuff).
Anyway, should be fixed in r328.

Uhhh my god!
Thath all problems only because some problems in my PATH environment?
Jesus crist!
Why?
The f..ng M$ environment need to work a GPL program.
I like L...x.

The solution:
I cleared all path env. var. from my personal, and edited a global var. so 
seems like a normal Path variable.

Now it seems all OK.
F..n M$.
I tell you who partner from 1995, and MAPS, and MSDE, and etc.
I don't understood anything, feel like a stupid children.

Please in the ini file add a line debug=1 or 0
please. :-)
in linx env. this a good choice.

As DamnVid basically is a collection of Python scripts, it is highly unlikely 
that it is a Windows problem.

Indeed, this is not a Windows problem. The bug is tagged as OpSys-Windows 
because only Windows users seem to have unclean PATH environment variables 
(those with empty PATH components). While this can be a bad thing, all Windows 
apps play fine with this, therefore so should DamnVid, instead of failing to 
start for such a little detail.

OK guys! Now all my environment is OK!
Program is starting, have GUI, can set anything...
BUT
If I try to download (found the video by DamnVid on YouTube) a file always 
error!
Try conversions (default, flv, MP4 etc) 1 sec and error, but in my browser I 
see the video and hear audio by HQ !
Yeah!
This project for MANY files from "anywhere" but today I can use only 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-Z3YrHJ1sU
for watch
and
http://keep-tube.com/watch?v=p-Z3YrHJ1sU
for download

BUT

file by file :-(

Seems to work for me. Could you open a new bug report for this and attach the 
.log with it?

Yes, so remove the last ";" character and it should work
