René's URL Explorer Experiment

I have a C# project from which I'm trying to experiment with calling yt-dlp.  On the follow statement, I get an exception for which the message is that the exception was thrown.  The exception's InnerException is null.  What could be going on?
\n
Exception of type 'System.ExecutionEngineException' was thrown.\n
\n\n
I tried to step into the code, but quickly ran into unmanaged code before finding where the exception was thrown.
