Want not install on Windows #67

Open anunasica opened 2 years ago

anunasica commented 2 years ago

Hi, can I use this GUI for the new youtube-dlg too or for the dismissed YTDL only? I downloaded it from https://github.com/oleksis/youtube-dl-gui/releases/download/v1.7.1/yt-dlg.exe But Windows showed a Warning: Unpossible to install it. Its strange. Instead this old GUI http://mrs0m30n3.github.io/youtube-dl-gui/ can be installed without problems. Thanks a lot for infos/fixes.

The .exe is just run and will open the GUI. If you have problem share some logs or screenshots for more details and help better

Hi, the old GUI is working: https://postimg.cc/62WYPJ41 (but the Updater is chacking for YTDL),

while the newer: https://postimg.cc/5Ysnd7w9 The file version is not compatible with the running Windows. Check if 32bit or 64. This app is not valid for Win32. Go in touch with sw manufacturer.

The .exe is build for architecture of x64 bit from GitHub.

Other options is follow the build steps but for you system architecture.

It would be less user base and is harder to support 32-bit software in future, see this news about 32-bit Windows. Like you can't find 32-bit builds of ffmpeg from official site, but community one, sudo-nautilus/FFmpeg-Builds-Win32.

I have a fork to release 32-bit build of yt-dlg. That can be running on a 32-bit Windows 7 VM. In case someone need it.

Thanks for try this version for 32bits. I can update the workflow for merge one new job for 32 bit that we know work with dependencies. Feel free make a PR if you like with the proper changes.

We can prepare a new release (1.8.X) with the new commits for the Chinese Traditional Translation
