As mentioned in the Sticky Post (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=4553.msg21674#msg21674) in this sub-forum, the ExifToolGUI is no longer supported by its author. 

You might try hvdwolf's new Java based GUI (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=11355.msg61433#msg61433).

Thank you.
Got it, but I have problems following the instructions for the Java version. They are way above my head :(
Belay that, I did find the installer for Windows & now have it running.
Thank you again.
