GeoSetter Beta – could not find pearl5*.dll

GooSetter Beta suddenly started throwing the following error when saving GPS coordinate changes to photos.

GooSetter Beta Error - ExifTool reported errors/warnings. Could not find C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\GeoSetter_beta\tools\exiftool_files\pearl5*.dll
ExifTool reported errors/warnings.
Could not find C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\GeoSetter_beta\tools\exiftool_files\pearl5*.dll

The issue was caused by GeoSetter using incorrect path to look for exiftool files. To resolve this, all I had to do was move all files from C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\GeoSetter_beta\tools to C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\GeoSetter_beta\tools\exiftool_files.

Basically, create a new folder called exiftool_files in C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\GeoSetter_beta\tools and move all files from tools into the new folder.
