Permission denied Python error

[styler2go]

Hello, i get the following Python error:

[debug] System config: []

[debug] Command-line args: [u'--verbose', u'--prefer-ffmpeg', u'-o', u'8dZDdW7v4Q8', >u'http://youtu.be/8dZDdW7v4Q8']

I am very sure that my permissions are set correctly. It's running on windows. Any idea?

Provide more context. Possible duplicate of #7951.

I am running it from a PHP script.

PHP is running as PHP-CGI launched by IIS.

If PHP-CGI is being launched as Low Integrity by IIS this can surely be the bug. It worked before i upgraded.

How can i be sure that PHP is running as low integrity?

Is there any workaround yet?

[dstftw]

Read linked issue #7951 (comment).

[styler2go]

I've read that already. I also read the Python Bug tracker but i could not find any workaround. So i guess there doesn't exist any?

[dstftw]

For example, --no-check-certificate should work in such cases.

[styler2go]

I saw that and i tried it but it didn't work. So i assumed this will be a workaround in a future youtube-dl version.

Here is my latest debug output:

Try python <= 2.7.8.

[styler2go]

The problem still exists with python 2.7.8:

Have you rebuild youtube-dl.exe with python 2.7.8?

[styler2go]

Sorry, my fault. I thought i just have to install python 2.7.8.
I will try rebuilding youtube-dl with python 2.7.8.

[devmes]

In my case the "windows compatibility mode" solved the problem
right-click on youtube-dl.exe -> Properties -> Compatibility -> Change settings for all users -> Compatibility mode -> Windows XP SP3

Another solution is downloading Python 3.5 and youtube-dl via it.
