cant run exiftools from command line

[oded_samuel]

hello  and thank you for this  tool  that seems to be a good start for my small poject.



my problem  :-   windows 10  command line does not recognize exiftools.exe  as an executable file.
i am trying to run in from within the directory  (program files (86)/exiftools/exiftools.exe)    itsellf   and get :-  "exiftools is not recognized as an internal or external command     etc.   etc.)

have i missed something with file permissions  setup of windows ?


thanks.

Hi oded,

Did you rename the distributed "exiftool(-k).exe" file to "exiftool.exe"?  And what directory did you put it in?

Try cd-ing to that directory and typing "dir" to be sure you have the correct file name (and not "exiftool.exe.exe" for example).  Then type "exiftool" in that directory and it should run "exiftool.exe".
