DigiKam 8.4.0 on Windows 10: ExifTool not found nor selectable although it is part of the Digikam package

[Frédéric Da Vitoria]

Hello,

I had the same issue but I solved it differently: I downloaded exiftool 
from exiftool.org, installed it in a separate directory (I have a 
directory where I put all software which don't have an installer), and 
pointed DK to it. Now DK 8.4.0 is running perfectly on my Windows 11 
machine.
