Summary0002548: Exiftool.org changed packaging for Exiftool, update not working anymore
DescriptionAccording to https://exiftool.org/install.html#Windows the install procedure for exiftool was changed.
Since 12.88 update does not work anymore
Exiftool.exe complains tah the perl libraries were not found.
The details section of geosetter says

NOTE: The https://exiftool.org/install.html#Windows has changed!
Windows EXE version now uses Oliver Betz's bundle with Strawberry Perl and comes in 32- and 64-bit versions

Geosetter gets a wrong version and populates the tools folder with lots of perl files. exiftool.exe is there, but does not work.
However if you download the windows zip file 32 bit or 64 bit, clear the tools folder and export the contents of the zip to the tools folder and rename exiftool-(k).exe to exiftool.exe, everything works again
Steps To ReproduceInitiate the update mechanism for exiftool and exiftool is not working anymore
Additional InformationWould be nice if it could be corrected
