Remember youtube-dl requires Python version 2.6, 2.7, or 3.2+ to work except for Windows exe.
Windows exe requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) and does not require Python that is already embedded into the binary.

so funciona no windows 7, instale o win 7 no virtual box e seja feliz.
I have the same problem as you have.
Installing vs2010 not solved the problem (problem: download finishes immediately without saving any data). Solved by installing the runtimes from here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#visual-studio-2010-vc-100-sp1-no-longer-supported both x86 and x64 versions of these are needed: Visual Studio 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2022 Visual Studio 2013 (VC++ 12.0) Visual Studio 2012 (VC++ 11.0) Update 4
