Summary | 0001124: Update of ExifTool fails under Windows 8.1 x64 | ||||
Description | I have a fresh installation of Geosetter on a fresh Windows 8.1 x64 system. Geosetter tries to update ExifTool but fails (more or less) silently. It seems the download of ExifTool works, the progress bar runs to 100% but then Geosetter offers the update again (and again, and again). No error message or similar. ExifTool is still on the old version. | ||||

It may be that you need to launch Geosetter with Administrative privelages. I had the same problem until I started geosetter with administrative privelages (right-click on the program in the start menu and select "Run as Administrator". This gives Geosetter the privelages to install Exiftool. |

@bangedupshins: Thanks! This tip works well. But on my last system with Win 7 I haven't had this issue. Either my installation differs or Win 8.1 differs from Win 7. |
|
I have the same Problem on Win10 x64. The exif-tool is installed under "C:\Program Files (x86)\GeoSetter beta\tools". In this path the user has no rights for writing. I installed only the latest geosetter-beta(3.4.51) |

|
create the folder <AppData>\GeoSetter\Tools After you have created the folder Tools the ExifTool update should work |
|
Now it is working. On my Win7-System the <AppData>\GeoSetter\Tools directory exist and is used for exiftool. I don't know who installed it. On this system I started with the non-beta version an continued with beta version. The <AppData>\GeoSetter\Tools path should be installed by the setup program like the other <AppData>\GeoSetter directories. Thank you for the quick help. |
