Greetings

It search for "yt-dlp_win7_x86.exe" but "yt-dlp_x86_win7.exe" exists.

Please take look at _get_binary_name() in yt_dlp\update.py 

Best regards

You were right, there was an error in my `update.py` (Locally; not in the source on GitHub yet).

I have uploaded a new x86_win7 file.

So far the WinXP and Win7 versions have equal functionality, right?

... Your generalised , yet unhelpful  , comment about AVs aside, what I actually meant with "berserk" was that the ZIP archive (and contained yt-dlp.exe binary) shared by nicolaasjan previously here was flagged, more specifically the wrapper DLL file "libxt.dll"; I'm sure this is a false positive, yet many AV engines won't "tolerate" well such wrapper DLLs, which hook and alter system file behaviour  ; on VT, half (31/67) the engines listed there ALSO flag the archive as "malicious":

... but let's NOT turn this into an AV pros & cons discussion; MSFN has a dedicated forum/thread, oftentimes turbulent and cyber-bullied  ... I whitelisted the archive and binary, what I wanted to convey was that the binary wouldn't even launch  under Vista SP2, let alone perform a video download test  ...
