[10.21+] Exiftool Can't locate Config.pm in @INC

[andiling]

Hi,
I'm using exiftool mostly with geotag (http://geotag.sourceforge.net/) which works perfectly up to version 10.20. 10.21/22 do not work anymore with it...
Any clues?
Attached the log file, I'm using Windows 10 x64 Pro.
Thx,
Andreas

From the log, it actually looks like you have a problem with your Java setup (a language specific file can not be found), not with exiftool... You can verify the workings of exiftool by simply executing it on the command line.

I concur with Hayo.

The missing DE file is not a fatal error (see attached the log with the 10.20 working version) as well as the java setup works with other tools (Android). Anyways, just wanted to tell it.

Hmm, interesting. So the Java errors were just a red herring; 10.20 does not produce the @INC error and 10.21 and newer do. I don't have a Windows 10 system so I can't test this, but do exiftool 10.21&10.22 work when used standalone?

Just for fun I tried this using the Windows version of ExifTool 10.22 running under Windows 10:

Code Select Expand

>"Exiftool(-k).exe" -p "${filename;print 'YES!' if require Config}" a.jpg
YES!a.jpg
-- press RETURN --

So the Config module seems to be packed in the ExifTool bundle.  Your @INC is wrong though.  When ExifTool is running the @INC should contain the temporary directories where ExifTool unpacks its files.  Also, your warning mentions -e, which is a Perl option that Exiftool doesn't use, so I think that the Java script must be executing some other command to produce this warning.
