As far as I know, I have the latest ExiftoolGUI installed at:
E:\Downloads\Graphics\ExifTool\exiftoolgui516\exiftoolgui
When I open the app and click on Program -> About it hangs
Task manager says it is not active and it seems I need to close it from Task manager
I have deleted the INI file, but it makes no difference. It is simply recreated.
As it can create the INI file, I assumed the location was not write protected and checking from the file explorer confirms that

As mentioned in the Sticky Post in this sub-forum, the ExifToolGUI is no longer supported by its author. 

You might try hvdwolf's new Java based GUI.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype

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.
