Following on from the install issues described in #687, the Windows 10 install fails with V2023.12.0 due to: Unable to install yt-dlp.

Really?! Wow.

Maybe it's a pip issue and not a psutil one. Will look into it...

@CarrotManMatt This may sound like a weird question, but did you change the default install location for programs? Like is it not C:\Program Files?

[nlogozzo]

Can you check C:\Program Files not (x86) and see if there is a Python311 folder?

If it's not there, check the x86 folder and see if it's maybe there...

[nlogozzo]

Ah ok so then it's python itself not installing correctly...

Have you ever installed python before or have another version installed? Through Microsoft store or wherever?

[nlogozzo]

Well yt-dlp doesn't (or didn't at the time when we made the decision) work with 3.12, hence why we used 3.11

Plus installing a fresh version for parabolic ensures dependencies and everything get setup correctly by us.

Python is supposed to allow multiple versions anyway should it should be a problem, but here 3.11 isn't installing.

Maybe I will change the install location to a more Parabolic centric location...

Thanks for the info, I'll try to get a new installer to you tonight.
