I can't seem to install youtube-dl. I have both Python27 and 34 installed (both 64bit). I've double clicked the .exe file and ran it through command prompt. Here's the error I get:

youtube-dl

Thank you for this program, can't wait to use it!!

In case of youtube-dl.exe binary there is no need to install anything and you don't need python at all (it's incorporated). To run it from command prompt without mentioning the full path to youtube-dl.exe on regular basis, you should put it in some directory and add the path to this directory to Path environment variable. To do this run control sysdm.cpl, select "Advanced" tab then "Environment Variables" and prepend directory where you put youtube-dl.exe to Path environment variable.
