Hi Phil, there seems to be a problem with the windows .exe version of 7.10.  When I try to do anything (example is "exiftool -usercomment=test test.JPG") I get a message like the following

Code:

Error while attempting to call Image::ExifTool::SetNewValue
Image/ExifTool/TagLookup.pm did not return a true value at /loader/0xdfc8f4/Image/ExifTool/Writer.pl line 17.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /loader/0xdfc8f4/Image/ExifTool/Writer.pl line 17.
Compilation failed in require at (eval 17) line 1.

Regards,
Eamon

Hi Eamon,

Was your hard disk nearly full the first time you ran exiftool?
This error can happen if exiftool doesn't have room to expand the
temporary files.  Try deleting them and running it again.  The
temporary files are probably in
c:\Documents and Settings\USER\Local Settings\Temp\par-USER\exiftool-7.10,
but they may be in a different location on your system.

Thanks Phil, while I have plenty of free space on my hard drive, deleting those files and re-running exiftool did the trick.  Not sure what caused it.
