Title: Installing ExifTool on windows 2008
Post by: squiggle on October 02, 2012, 03:45:04 AM
Hi,

I'm about to use ExifTool for a Razuna installation but can't figure out the right way to install ExifTool on my server. I've downloaded the Image-ExifTool-9.02.tar.gz extracted the files, renamed the exiftool to exiftool.pl and moved the file and lib folder to c:\windows - but my Razuna installation can't seem to accept that as a installation.
What am i doing wrong?

You should try installing the windows version (from exiftool-9.02.zip).

Just tried that and no luck - is the .exe file doing anything other than opening a CMD with info? Is it installing anything? Seems that no matter what i do, the Razuna installation will not accept the exiftool installation.

The Windows exe is just a packaged version of ExifTool together with Perl.  This would fix things if the problem was that you didn't have Perl installed or if Razuna expected an executable.

At this point I'm out of ideas since I have no idea what Razuna is.  Perhaps you would have better luck if you posed this question to someone who knows Razuna.
