I just made a completely new win10 install and youtube-dl will not run.
I get this errror.
I tried installing Python - latest version. No good.
Then I tried installing an old one following a googled hint, 2.7, hasn't worked.
PS C:\Windows\system32> youtube-dl
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: unable to load the file system codec
ImportError: No module named 'encodings'

Try right clicking youtube-dl and "Run as Administrator"
It's not important the problem be solved, only that the blame for the mistake is assigned correctly -
Must be a Python forum somewhere out there. That's the first thing I would look into. Or maybe the youtube-dl author will respond.

Hi ,
Create a directory , without Administrator's rights .
Ex : D:\YTBE
Find the lastest version of youtube-dl , unzip it in the previous directory .
Don't forget on updating youtube-dl .
