I am on a Windows 11 system.
When I download the software, the download is not completing.
The file I see is CRDOWNLOAD.
I do not receive an executable.
What page are you downloading from? I just tested all three of the download links on the main page (https://exiftool.org/) and there was no problem.
I used Microsoft Edge. When I tried with Firefox the download worked properly. I'll report to MSFT.
Thanks,
Fred
Tested that out and Edge seems overly cautious. A dialog opened in the upper right corner for me and you had to click yes multiple times. But the CRDOWNLOAD file is complete. I just had to add the .zip extension.
