It will prevent many programs that are not installed with local admin rights from being able to use it. Not one single program that is installable will do that. Being a local admin on your system allows you to do so, BUT DON'T DO IT.
Putting an external program in c:\windows is a very bad habit, and something Microsoft doesn't want, already since Win3.x. I know that Phil advises to do that, but if you check the exiftool forum, you will see that even there is it disapproved. I will not change this and I will certainly not make my program a "require local admin" rights program because exiftool is installed on the wrong location. This is not a BUG! The bug was that two (or more) installed versions of exiftool make JTG crash. I have not had much chance to use the app, but found it does have some features I think will be very helpful. Since there is no installation needed, it also makes it difficult to really uninstall an older, non-working version and since it records details in the registry, it is even more dangerous to try and remove any left-overs and restart with a clean environment. Still, it would be very helpful if there was some visible feedback to the user. had found 2 versions of Exiftool.exe and recorded them in the registry, in a somewhat curious format, but evidently could not decide which to use. My investigation with 1.8.1 version found that 1.81. Then I ran an earlier version 1.4.1 and it loads without errors.įWIW, I have several copies of Exiftool.exe on my system, in several different locations, for different testing purposes and even installed Exiftool.exe to C:\Windows ( and renamed it as instructed)
Then I found the link which says "fixed in beta" from the issues list: jExifToolGUI-1.9.0.0_beta-win-x86_64_with-jre.zip Had downloaded jExifToolGUI-1.8.1.0-win-x86_64.zip, installed it, but it failed without feedback. #logback.classic pattern: %d - %msg%n 15:48:01.264 INFO - Start application 15:48:01.264 INFO - Continuing in system language or, if not translated, in English 15:48:01.873 INFO - string for DB: C:\Users\me\jexiftoolgui_data\jexiftoolgui.db 15:48:01.873 INFO - preference exiftool returned: C:\Program Files\ExifTool\ExifTool.exe 15:48:02.748 INFO - exiftool_found mentions: true I exiftool.exe in the same folder and also under C:\Windows\System32 I have downloaded jExifToolGUI-1.8.1.0-win-x86_64_with-jre.zip and unzipped it. I'm having the same problem on Windows 10.
