The error indicates the software is trying to delete a folder (rmtree) but the provided path is None. This is almost certainly caused by a file path containing non-ASCII characters (like "Počítač").

Solution:

  1. Move the entire software folder to a location with a simple, English-only path.

    • For example: D:\videotrans or C:\Users\bandu\Desktop\videotrans.
  2. Do not place it in system-protected folders like C:\Program Files or OneDrive synced folders.
  3. After moving, run sp.exe from the new location.

This is the primary installation rule. If the error persists after moving to a clean path, please provide the full log file from the logs directory inside the new software folder.
