9 months ago Due to the fact that it runs on 4.7.2 (and is a requirement), I'm surprised it even booted. There's was a lot to read, but it just seems like I can't completely rule these as current problems because they weren't ran on the current version which I know has fixes for a couple of these already in place.
There's going to be a time where I can't support every version, as much as I'd like to. You can install Framework 4.7.2 on that old version of 10 (possibly with no persisting issues) after a quick internet search, but I really want to take advantage of new features. The only reason I even still use framework was because ContextMenu and MainMenu controls were removed unfairly from newer versions of .NET, and since I found a work-around to get them back, I may start upgrading to .NET 6, or higher depending on what I feel is best.
TL;DR: the latest youtube-dl-gui does not run on older versions of Windows, it is necessary to download earlier versions + a couple of errors in the settings\downloading videos (and repetition for the console youtube-dl.exe - where does he save the video files?)
Problem 1️⃣
🛠 If someone has an error below, then just install an earlier version of youtube-dl-gui and THAT'S IT - nothing else is needed! (probably (?) it's the lack of: ".NET Framework 4.7.2 runtime" - required for the latest versions of youtube-dl-gui to work, but: "The .NET Framework 4.5.x/4.6.x/4.7.x/4.8.x is not supported on this operating system." - http://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/install/troubleshoot-blocked-installations-and-uninstallations + http://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/get-started/system-requirements - it DOES NOT support older versions of Windows 10 - v. 10240, aka v. 1507 (means: 07.2015) and others)
I downloaded a version, for example, youtube-dl-gui 3.1.1 (http://github.com/murrty/youtube-dl-gui/releases - scroll down) and everything worked!
❌ Error when launching new versions of youtube-dl-gui on older versions of Windows (10 - v. 10240, aka v. 1507 (means: 07.2015) and others. Probably because of the absence .NET Framework 4.7.2?)

Problem 2️⃣
🛠 However, "trouble does not come alone" - there is another small problem: youtube-dl-gui for some reason
¯\_(ツ)_/¯DOESN'T want to save the path to youtube-dl.exe (he doesn't want to and that's it). The (strange) solution is this: FIRST specify the path to youtube-dl.exe, THEN click the "Use static youtube-dl" checkbox, THEN click "Save" - another error will pop up (its description will be below under the spoiler) - ignore it and click "OK", THEN WITHOUT CLOSING the settings window, immediately AGAIN, uncheck "Use static youtube-dl" and only THEN click "Save" AGAIN. That's it - the path to youtube-dl.exe saved and ONLY then. Manual editing youtube-dl-gui.ini - for some reason¯\_(ツ)_/¯also does not give any results - if constant errors do not allow you to launch youtube-dl-gui - feel free to delete youtube-dl-gui.ini and run the program again (also a little about the setup .ini - below).⚙️ Setting up youtube-dl-gui.ini
In youtube-dl-gui.ini, you can manually type: [General] UseStaticYtdl=True ytdlPath=D:\Programs\youtube-dl-gui-3.2.3\youtube-dl.exe But it also for some reason `¯\_(ツ)_/¯` does not save the path, and this: UseStaticYtdl=False It is necessary to set it to "False", otherwise the program will not start - all with the same error (which is below), and even more reliably - delete youtube-dl-gui.ini.
(by the way, the path to FFmpeg is determined automatically and there are no problems - everything works
¯\_(ツ)_/¯)❌ Error when trying to specify the path to youtube.dl.exe, then clicking "Use static youtube-dl", and then "Save" (also after that, the same error when trying to go into the settings at all, and then when starting the program - does not allow you to run at all. It is necessary to delete youtube-dl-gui.ini again or set UseStaticYtdl=False)

🛠 Everything works as I said, so it doesn't matter how! Just ignore the error, click "OK" and wait for the video to download\convert\merge...

Final problem 4️⃣ (but not to you, but to youtube-dl.exe)
🛠 In general, it was also solved a long time ago and voiced: http://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/4438. If you use only the console version youtube-dl.exe, then it saves the video by default to the folder from where youtube-dl.exe it starts (the short path from where the .exe starts is set via the PATH environment variable in Windows). For example, if the Command line (administrator) -
C:\Windows\system32, then in will save the video to a folderC:\Windows\SysWOW64(because I have a 64-bit Windows). If it's just a Command line (not an admin) -C:\Users\Admin, then save the video to a folder:C:\Users\Admin... (ifShift + right-click of mouse + "Open command window here"- on an empty Explorer location in the folder with youtube-dl.exe in it, it will save, for example, in:D:\Programs\youtube-dl-gui-3.2.3(or to the folder where you have youtube-dl.exe). You can also use the program settings in the command line, specifying where to save: "youtube-dl -o D:\Output.mp4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ" (note that-omust be BEFORE the URL, NOT after, otherwise nothing will work. By the way, there is also another "small" mistake here 😹: http://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/31530 - YouTube videos are not downloaded, i.e. the main function. So I understood, due to the fact that YouTube has updated something again and therefore it is necessary to update youtube-dl too. Solved by downloading the updated version of youtube-dl under the name "nigtly" (link to the official GitHub above). By the way, even the newest nigtly version downloads a YouTube video without sound for some reason (and in .mkv format, although I set .mp4)... 😹 )❓ The problem (?) in which downloaded videos via youtube-dl are placed by default in the Windows system folders - `system32\SysWOW64` - and they need to be searched by the name of the video file through a search in the Explorer for all disks

(no one usually does this, at least I've never seen this - saving user files (VIDEOS! 😳 ) through the Console to the Windows system files\folders -
system32\SysWOW64. I understandnothingeverything, but it's kind of weird...)Is that all?.. (I hope... 😅 )
I thought to QUICKLY write a solution to the problem for others who will search the Internet for an error by its name, but writing "War and Peace" (or a resume for a job, for example. "Monkey work"business + "Infinite monkey theorem" 🙈🙉🙊), which, anyway, no one reads (because with a nobleman (i.e. rich) Tolstoy was paid for the number of words in the book. And when Mayakovsky, for example, for the number of lines in the poem, that's why he wrote in short "ladders". "But that's a completely different story..." (local russian meme)), as usual, it took a little more (~ half a day, lol) time...
Have a good time of day! 🌚🌝 http://youtu.be/WUl9NPPMx8s (http://reddit.com/no55t8)
You can close this issue immediately without answering (well, or whatever you like). I'm also not a programmer, I'm not sitting here, and I'll notice the answer only after 100500 years, when I pass by again... (email is also spammed - I won't notice the notification either)
