Did you uncompress the folder? It's basically complaining that it couldnt find the files it needs to run which is a typical symptom if you don't uncompress all the files.

Hi,

Try out the latest release. Fixes some issues relating to starting the program: https://github.com/animelover1984/youtube-dl/releases/latest
