Warning

July 11, 2024
It looks like MS Defender now accepts that the V633 installer is no virus. Today I was able to download and install it without virus reports.

But.... Now another problem has revealed. ExifTool by Phil Harvey has changed, and as a consequence the installer is not able to download and install automatically. ExifTool provided by Oliver Betz still works.
I'm working on a solution, but it will require changing the installer.

July 2, 2024
I have a request to all people who believe, like me, that the installer is no malware/virus.
Please report to MS that this is a false positive. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/filesubmission
It may help. Thanks in advance.

Note: If you submit the file to VirusTotal, only 3 out of 74 report it as a virus.

Upon downloading the installer MS Defender may report: Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.B!ml
Changing the compression to zip only worked for 2 weeks!
Will postpone development on the project for the time being. Sorry.

Download Installer

The installer should handle all requirements mentioned with the Portable version automatically. Depending on your Windows version the WIN32 or WIN64 files will be installed. Should you prefer the WIN32 files on a WIN64 windows, then you can add /Win32 as a parameter to the installer.

It is recommended to choose the 'Setup install mode' 'Install for all users', if you have admin rights, and choose the 'full installation'.
In the additional tasks your have the options to create a desktop icon (recommended), and to download and install the latest version of Exiftool.
If 'by Phil Harvey' is chosen, the Exiftool zip file will be download and the exe unzipped and renamed in the installation folder.
If 'by Oliver Betz' is chosen, the latest installer will be downloaded and run after the installation of ExifToolGui.
(It is recommended to choose 'Add to Path', so ExiftoolGui will be able to find ExifTool.exe)
