I had to downgrade to PyInstaller 5.13.2, instead of using PyInstaller 6.16.0 for XP from 3dyd... I got a nasty error when launching the `onedir` build. yt-dlp said: [PYI-1228:ERROR] Failed to load Python DLL 'C:\bin\_internal\python311.dll'. LoadLibrary: Kan opgegeven procedure niet vinden. (can't find procedure) See Issue 2.

I have no issues adding things to the PATH. Everything needed goes in `C:\Bin`. So, on XP my PATH looks like this: %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Bin;C:\Python311;C:\Python311\Scripts

Here is a test binary of yt-dlp for Windows XP: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/scl/fi/nltccona7wcnn3otd2ek2/yt-dlp_XP_test.7z?rlkey=8t2m3esh9hy671bkp1wg0xq6a Install Quickjs in your PATH and add `--js-runtimes quickjs` to your config.

My bad. I took the wrong one. Go here. Now it took 9 seconds to calculate. 😀️

You're right. I should have read the Wiki first. Here is an updated build with quickjs support and EJS bundled. However, quickjs isn't that quick... It took 28 minutes to figure out `yt-dlp -F URL` (in the meantime using a lot of memory and CPU).

When tested if this Node version would work on Vista, I got this: The procedure entry point EventSetInformation could not be located in the dynamic link library ADVAPI32.dll

I tested the soon to be merged PR #14157 and it is already working. On Windows 7 Deno can't be used, but there is a Node.js fork that can do the same job. I used node-v20.19.2-win-x86.zip and extracted it to `C:\Bin\node` (add this to the PATH). Then compiled yt-dlp_x86 for Windows 7 from: https://github.com/Grub4K/yt-dlp/tree/feat/jsc-deno Added to the config file: --remote-components ejs:github --js-runtimes node --remote-components ejs:npm yt-dlp -F URL now gives lots of formats: [debug] Command-line config: ['-v', '-F', 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XofX6d-z-w'] [debug] User config "C:\Users\Nico\AppData\Roaming\yt-dlp\config.txt": ['--rm-cache-dir', '--console-title', '-o', '~/Desktop/%(title)s.%(ext)s', '--remote-components', 'ejs:github', '--js-runtimes', 'node', '--remote-components', 'ejs:npm', '--embed-thumbnail', '--add-metadata', '--convert-thumbnails', 'jpg', '--ppa', 'ffmpeg:-metadata synopsis=""', '--force-ipv4', '--sponsorblock-remove', 'all'] [debug] Encodings: locale cp1252, fs utf-8, pref cp1252, out cp1252 (No ANSI), error cp1252 (No ANSI), screen cp1252 (No ANSI) [debug] yt-dlp version local@2025.10.26 [a36fa2e26] (win_x86_exe) [debug] Python 3.14.0 (CPython AMD64 32bit) - Windows-10-10.0.19044-SP0 (OpenSSL 3.0.18 30 Sep 2025) [debug] exe versions: ffmpeg git-2025-10-19-dc39a57-ffmpeg-windows-build-helpers (fdk,setts), ffprobe git-2025-10-19-dc39a57-ffmpeg-windows-build-helpers [debug] Optional libraries: Cryptodome-3.23.0, brotli-1.1.0, certifi-2025.10.05, mutagen-1.47.0, requests-2.32.5, sqlite3-3.50.4, urllib3-2.5.0, websockets-15.0.1 [debug] JS runtimes: node-20.19.2 [debug] Proxy map: {} [debug] Request Handlers: urllib, requests, websockets [debug] Plugin directories: none [debug] Loaded 1839 extractors Removing cache dir C:\Users\Nico/.cache\yt-dlp ...

Yes, I've already tested it and everything is working. 🙂 However, now the question is ; how long will yt-dlp on XP keep working?... 🤔 Soon, an external JavaScript runtime will be needed. Deno is out of the question on older systems and yt-dlp-getpot-jsi gave me errors on both Windows XP and Windows7 (see Issue 9 ).

No idea. My homebrew Python 3.14 Linux standalone executable is even 51.7MB. 😮 Almost 100MB unpacked in the /tmp folder.

Don't the standalone Linux builds work (they have newer Python embedded)? yt-dlp_linux or (for 32bit) my yt-dlp_linux_x86.

Yes, this is a known issue (#14680)... They are working hard to implement some sort of a fix. It could be a challenge to get Deno working on Windows 7, however. On Windows 7 64bit, I have Deno 1.27.0 working. But there are no 32bit builds (as far as I know)...

Working!

No, both yt-dlp_x86_win7.exe versions were built on Windows 10 64bit with 32bit Python. yt-dlp_win7.exe (and zipped) versions are built on Windows 7 64bit with 64bit Python. I think so. 🤔 Yes. And it was built with 3dyd's PyInstaller 6.15.0.

There is a new release available. The Win7 builds should now work again on Vista. They are now built with PyInstaller 6.16.0 (Vista compatible) . I forked 3dyd/pyinstaller-builds and changed the workflow file (trial and error...). https://github.com/nicolaasjan/pyinstaller-builds/releases

Can you test this Win7 build: yt-dlp_x86_win7.7z ? Built with adang1345's Py3.14 with custom PyInstaller 6.15 on Windows 10.

I'm sorry. I have no idea... Yes, that is the special yt-dlp_Py3.14.0_x86_Vista. True, but maybe he has an idea. I'm as puzzled as you are in this case... In the meantime, I'll use the 3dyd PyInstaller the next time for the Windows 7 builds.

I'll send the whole zip file.

I use adang1345's Python builds for both x86 and x86-64 builds. I have PyInstaller 6.16.0 for both and I can't remember having used PyInstaller 6.15 (by 3dyd) before this latest build for Win7... Btw, that `K32EnumProcessModules` error also happens on Vista when building with the latest Python 3.13.8 from adang1345 and PyInstaller 6.16. Maybe you could ask adang1345? Do you want me to "downgrade" to that custom PyInstaller (for the Win7 builds)?

By the way, during building the XP version, I get these warnings: 8852 WARNING: lib not found: fileextd.dll dependency of C:\Python311\KERNELxp.dll 8882 WARNING: lib not found: kernelex.dll dependency of C:\Python311\KERNELxp.dll 🤔

I think that must be because I built directly after the standalone one, i.e. without deleting the build directory and start over. After I built the `onedir` version today from a fresh source directory, I got: [debug] Command-line config: ['-v'] [debug] Encodings: locale cp1252, fs utf-8, pref cp1252, out cp1252 (No VT), error cp1252 (No VT), screen cp1252 (No VT) [debug] yt-dlp version nicolaasjan/yt-dlp@2025.10.13.080600 (win_x86_dir) [debug] Python 3.11.4 (CPython x86 32bit) - Windows-XP-5.1.2600-SP3 (OpenSSL 3.5.2 5 Aug 2025) [debug] exe versions: ffmpeg N-121254-g635cb4543f (fdk,setts), ffprobe N-121254-g635cb4543f, phantomjs 1.9.8 [debug] Optional libraries: Cryptodome-3.23.0, brotli-1.1.0, certifi-2025.10.05, mutagen-1.47.0, requests-2.32.5, sqlite3-3.50.4, urllib3-2.5.0, websockets-15.0.1 [debug] Proxy map: {} [debug] Request Handlers: urllib, requests, websockets [debug] Plugin directories: none [debug] Loaded 1834 extractors

Updated yt-dlp_Py3.14.0_x86_Vista. (with IOS patch ) @Reino; Please test if this still suits your needs.

Fortunately, my main system (Linux Mint) didn't have any issue compiling Brotli "automagically" when installing the dependencies for my newly compiled Python 3.14 (altinstall; that is, it is installed without interfering with system Python). Compiler is shipped with the distro. No problem, I was suspecting that already. It is.

I used this: https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw The 32bit build was compiled with Python 3.14.0 (x86) from adang1345 on Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC. The 64bit build was compiled with Python 3.14.0 (x86-64) from adang1345 on Windows 7. To let Python use this compiler, place a file named `distutils.cfg` (see below) in `.\Lib\distutils` in Python install directory (create folder `distutils`). [build] compiler = mingw32 Build Brotli: Download source tarball and extract. In source directory run: python setup.py build_ext --compiler=mingw32 install Build wheel: python setup.py build_ext --compiler=mingw32 bdist_wheel In the directory where the built wheel is, run: pip install --force-reinstall brotli-1.1.0-cp314-cp314-win32.whl Huh??? .\yt-dlp_win7.exe -v [debug] Command-line config: ['-v'] [debug] Encodings: locale cp1252, fs utf-8, pref cp1252, out cp1252 (No VT), error cp1252 (No VT), screen cp1252 (No VT) [debug] yt-dlp version nicolaasjan/yt-dlp@2025.10.05.061237 (win7_exe*) [debug] Python 3.13.7 (CPython AMD64 64bit) - Windows-7-6.1.7601-SP1 (OpenSSL 3.0.16 11 Feb 2025) [debug] exe versions: ffmpeg git-2025-10-04-e05f8ac-ffmpeg-windows-build-helpers (fdk,setts), ffprobe git-2025-10-04-e05f8ac-ffmpeg-windows-build-helpers, phantomjs 2.5.0 [debug] Optional libraries: Cryptodome-3.23.0, brotli-1.1.0, certifi-2025.08.03, curl_cffi-0.13.0, mutagen-1.47.0, requests-2.32.5, sqlite3-3.50.4, urllib3-2.5.0, websockets-15.0.1 [debug] Proxy map: {} [debug] Request Handlers: urllib, requests, websockets, curl_cffi [debug] Extractor Plugins: NSigDeno (YoutubeIE) [debug] Plugin directories: C:\Users\Nico\AppData\Roaming\yt-dlp\plugins\bgutil-ytdlp-pot-provider\yt_dlp_plugins, C:\Users\Nico\AppData\Roaming\yt-dlp\plugins\yt-dlp-YTNSigDeno\yt_dlp_plugins [debug] Loaded 1833 extractors And the next Win7 builds will be Py3.14 based.

Oh, I don't mind building myself. That said, there is a new Python stable release (3.14.0) from adang1345. Test build for Vista/Win7 (32bit): yt-dlp_Py3.14.0_x86_Vista.7z As usual, the Brotli dependency is not yet available for Python 3.14... So, I had to build a wheel myself from source (not easy...). Here is the 32bit variant, if you want to compile yt-dlp yourself: brotli-1.1.0-cp314-cp314-win32.whl
