Digikam 8.4 not seeing exiftool in default location (Windows 11)

Help
1

I recently updated from 8.3 to 8.4. When I ran Digikam it complained that exiftool was missing. It’s still there at C:\Program Files\digiKam\exiftool.exe, but Digikam won’t accept this path. I downloaded exiftool and installed it in my binary add-ons folder, and it worked fine.

Thanks for the solution but I don’t understand what it means installing exiftool in “my binary add-ons folder”. You mean into a folder in digikam folder on C drive > Program Files > digiKam?
Thank you

On my Windows machines, I always have a C:\bin folder to various scripts and things. I also do this on my Linux machines as ~/bin.

For some reason it will not detect exiftool in the expected folder.
