# Youtube-DL.py Windows.exe Wrapper

Very basic youtube-dl.py wrapper binary written in C#.NET that makes you able to call the python script via youtube-dl.exe

This file can be thrown into any directory that's PATH'd in Windows, make sure youtube-dl(.py) is in the same directory.

This also requires Python to be installed (obviously).

It currently just checks for these paths:
```
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\{3.6,3.5}\InstallPath
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\{3.6,3.5}\InstallPath
C:\Python{36,35}\python.exe
```
```
>youtube-dl.exe --version
2017.11.15
```

Why does this exist?:

I got annoyed that you can not "cross compile" with pyinstaller from Linux to Windows.

Meaning I couldn't build youtube-dl.exe nightly.

So I made this small exe file that just relays stuff from the combined youtube-dl python script,
which is created by running `make` in the youtube-dl git repo.
