ExifTool has changed its tool. Previously, all program files were in one file (exiftool.exe). Now the other required files are separately in the "exiftool_files" directory. Here GeoSetter makes an error when updating exiftool. It throws all the files into one directory in the GS program.

If that doesn't work, do the following. From the website https://exiftool.org download the version for your Windows type: exiftool-??.??_32.zip or 64-bit exiftool-??.??_64.zip. Instead of question marks, the page displays the currently released version. 32bit or 64bit is the type of your operating system. If you don't know it, then press the keyboard shortcut "Windows Logo + Pause". From there, look for "System Type". The 64bit version of exiftool will not run under 32bit.

For further work, some file manager is ideal, e.g. Total Commander, because the following procedure to do via Windows windows is also beyond my nerves. :()
If you have GeoSetter running, close it first. Then go to your installed version of GeoSetter. Everyone has it somewhere else, so we won't address that. If you don't know, then use the search or start menu. In the tools directory, delete everything completely. Then open and extract the entire contents of the downloaded exiftool archive to the tools directory. Rename the main file exiftool(-k).exe to exiftool.exe ... and you're done. Run GeoSetter and everything should run without problems. Ignore any further updates to exiftool or repeat the previous instructions. Unless the main boss has released a new version of GS with fixes, the correct Exiftool update will not work.
