"Download complete" when an error in the log

[mohmad-null]

Windows 7, so yt-dlg 1.7.1

I'm trying to download a playlist, and after less than a second I get "downloads complete" pop up. The status says "Finished". But of course, that was far too fast, and there are no files in the output directories.

I find the log and see:
2024-04-26 09:53:44,162-DEBUG-Worker_1-[WinError 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application

This bug isn't that it doesn't work, it's that the GUI (which is the entire point of this application over the CLI), hides the fact it doesn't work. It failed to run, yet I have two separate confirmatory messages which are both claiming it succeeded.
