[thracyturnix]

thanks for this software and your hard work in making it

i have used it before and had good success

for some reason on this install it throws an error

I cannot make sense of it and was wondering if someone could point me in the general direction of what I might need to do to make it work..

Did you install python from windows store?

• If yes, uninstall it and reinstall it with the Python.org installer.
• If No, uninstall it and reinstall it in a different folder (preferably not C:\ drive)

P.S.
I had the same issues while developing spotDL on win10, this worked for me. If this doesn't work, leave a comment.

Is the issue fixed?

Sorrry for delay getting back. I removed the App Store version and installed 3.9 x64 version. It says: http://i.imgur.com/C5qJKsm.png
