"Error! Unhandled error (execa)."

[Figgyee]

Everytime I try to download something, I always get "Error! Unhandled error (execa)."
"Show full error" gives me this:

How can I solve it?

Sorry, I should have mention it. Already tried and it doesn't work (I'm not even sure about what the correct method is though).

actually I had the same problem with Manjaro Linux. I did the following step to solve it:

sudo wget https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp -O ~/.youtube-dl-gui/yt-dlp-unix

The actual problem is that yt-dlp is not found on the system. So you have to manually add it. Hope this helps a bit.

same issue for me, I also copied the yt-dlp.exe in the correct folder like mentioned above in #354

I tried to force "everyone" full control permission on the root folder, still getting this error :
