the specified module was not found

If you are using the standalone .exe and don't have python installed, there might be an issue with your version of youtube-dl, which you can try to update to a newer version, or try using yt-dlp instead as it's preferred over yt-dl.

The only other idea I have is that it might be trying to extract the python library into a protected folder which you don't have access to write to.

youtube-dl extracts the runtime.

Do you have python installed?

no

Okay, that might be a requirement for your setup. If you were to download using youtube-dl through the command line, does the issue still occur (without running my program)?
