Exiftool gui how to#
How to build the installer yourself - if you don't trust me or want to modify it: You can use it like any Perl for Windows, but the installer will not add this directory to your path. The "exiftool_files" directory contains a stripped version of Strawberry Perl (portable) with just the modules necessary to run ExifTool, including the original Perl.exe. That's no protected folder, so you need no administrative rights (See ) Using Perl alone If you select "for me only", the installation path defaults to %LocalAppData%\Programs\ExifTool. The advantage is that the ExifTool installation is then protected against unintentional or malicious modification.
Exiftool gui install#
If you select "for all", the installer requests administrative rights and suggests to install to the protected folder %ProgramFiles(x86)%\ExifTool for the 32 bit version or %ProgramFiles%\ExifTool for the 64 bit version. You may install "for me only" or "for all users".
Exiftool gui archive#
Use the ZIP archive if you don't trust InnoSetup. Please report these errors to your AV spupplier.

Use the well supported Strawberry Perl with a permissive license.Ģ022 (March…May), I count 4600 downloads per month (End of 2020: 3000 per month) and no user complaints throughout the years, therefore I consider this package pretty mature.Provide a convenient Windows installer based on Inno Setup with reasonable default directories.Run Perl in a native, clean and fast way, avoiding the self-extracting Perl Packager with its resulting problems ( technical background).In early 2019, I started to improve the Windows environment for ExifTool with the following features / improvements: As an alternative to the "single EXE" Windows ExifTool offered at Phil Harvey's site, I offer here a convenient installer and a robust portable package of Phil Harvey's ExifTool for Windows - probably the most comprehensive tool available for accessing metadata in image and other files.
