Exception calling "Wait" with "0" argument(s): "One or more errors occurred." ---> System.AggregateEx

First of all thanks for sharing your coding (the power of the commons! ;-) ). Somehow I am getting a very complex error message. This was my command after downloading the powershell coding: PS C:\Users\fernaer> dir C:\0PRIVATES\EF_Bilder\EF_Bilder_2021_Hdy_Checken\heic | .\ConvertTo-Jpeg.ps1

This is the result, I wonder if you can guide me toward a solution (my smartphone stored the pictures as heic during several months without me noticing it).:

This sounds like you do not have a HEIC codec installed or it's not working: No suitable transform was found to encode or decode the content.

Please see the README for more info, or check the closed issues for similar things. Make sure Windows Photos can open the images before trying this script.

Running into the same issue.

The extensions referenced in the README are no longer free. Are there any free alternatives?

After doing some searching, I discovered ImageMagick which is free and open source.

Well my workaround is to install WSL (Ubuntu) and use the linux convert Tool to do this job.
