Since the yt-dlp is not being packed with the application anymore, you'll need to download it manually.
So, download the yt-dlp and place the yt-dlp.exe (if you're on Windows) inside a folder named open-video-downloader (That was created by the application). Mine was located where I ran the setup (C:/Users/MyUser/Downloads/open-video-downloader). After that, restart the application.

Same. I don't have a folder named open-video-downloader.

Followed your steps, restarted the app, still getting the same error message.

This version also adds ffmpeg, so try adding that dll too.

Fix was putting yt-dlp.exe in youtube-dl-gui\resources\app.asar.unpacked\binaries
