That's caused by a recent packaging change in the Windows installer of Streamlink which is causing issues in the Twitch GUI. I'm still searching for a proper solution to this that's not a cheap workaround. It's not that simple, unfortunately.

For now, you'll have to fix this yourself by choosing the streamlink.exe file from the installer's bin subdirectory as the intended streamlink-script.py and selecting the included pythonw.exe file (notice the w) from the Python subdirectory as the python executable.

Let me pin this thread to the top, so everyone on Windows can see it. Sorry for the inconveniences.

I will also add a link to this thread in the wiki.

Let me post a quick update on this matter:

I've submitted a patch with a new build feature to pynsist, the library Streamlink is using to build the Windows installer. This hasn't been reviewed (and merged) yet, so I'm still waiting for that to happen. If it gets merged, Streamlink will be able to build a secondary executable which the Twitch GUI can then use in a new resolver config and everything should continue to work OOTB again on Windows.

• Submit a pull request to pynsist which makes it possible to build "noconsole" command launchers (Implement console command section property takluyver/pynsist#179)
• Pull request gets merged or similar feature gets implemented
• New pynsist release (optional, Streamlink can use a pre-release version)
• Submit a pull request to streamlink (Build additional "streamlinkw" launcher on Windows streamlink#2326) which uses this new pynsist "noconsole" feature and also adds a "GUI" ("noconsole") launcher to installs via pip, which works exactly the same
• Pull request gets merged
• Publish new streamlink release (1.1.0 - 1.1.0 release streamlink#2349)
• Add new "Streamlink (Windows)" (streamlinkw) resolver config to the Twitch GUI, similar to the "Livestreamer (Standalone)" one (not yet merged, waiting for Streamlink release, see 0429a00)
• Bump Streamlink version requirement in the Twitch GUI from 0.2.0 to 1.1.0 (6dff009)
• Publish a new Streamlink Twitch GUI release

Am I missing something here? There is NO such file/folder in my streamlink folder.

This is your Streamlink Twitch GUI folder and not your Streamlink folder

v1.7.0 has just been released:
https://github.com/streamlink/streamlink-twitch-gui/releases/latest

You will have to upgrade to the latest Streamlink release and manually choose the Streamlink (Windows) provider in the streaming settings menu if you've previously used Streamlink Twitch GUI. This provider is the new default on Windows and will be selected automatically on new installs (clean config folder).

I will keep this thread open for a while, though.

Closing, as it's been a week since 1.7.0 and everyone already had the chance to upgrade by now who could possibly run into this issue.
