Summary0001124: Update of ExifTool fails under Windows 8.1 x64
DescriptionI 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.
TagsNo tags attached.

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.
