[Originally posted by exiftool on 2009-11-05 14:41:50-08]I have had about a dozen reports of things like this in the
past, but only on Windows. Hence the following note in my
Windows installation instructions:
(Note: Occasionally users have reported that exiftool gives errors when running
this version for this first time. It is possible this may happen if a file gets
corrupted during the download/installation process. In this case, follow the
Uninstalling instructions below then re-download and re-install exiftool. Be
sure that you have sufficient disk space in your TEMP directory for exiftool to
unpack the required files.)
Uninstalling:
1. Drag "exiftool(-k).exe" (or "C:\WINDOWS\exiftool.exe") into the Recycle bin.
2. Drag the directory "par-USER" from your temporary directory to the Recycle
bin. Here "USER" is your Windows user name and the temporary directory depends
on the value of the TEMP environment variable ("C:\Documents and
Settings\USER\Temp" on most Windows XP systems).
Let me know if this solves the problem.

and now i feel dumb again because somehow these installation notes
slipped my eyes. it seems exiftoolGUI managed to crash exiftool
which then left some .lock files in the temp folder.
works like a charm now as it used to do. thx+sry for the hassle!
