Thank you for your work!
Tried another script that i found here on github and didn't work.
Your script worked perfect on Windows 11.

First I needed to change the script policy on Windows to unrestricted opening the powershell as admin.

Paste the line below

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

After that I downloaded yarn.

Open CMD as admin

Type the line below

corepack enable
yarn
yarn -v
yarn set version stable
yarn

After that.. go to the script folder. go to src > open config.ts

Enable extensions that you may have on your photos, save and close.

Go pack to the main folder of the script, right click > open in terminal..

Now just type the following:
yarn
yarn start --inputDir D:\Takeout --outputDir D:\Photos --errorDir D:\PhotosError

the line above is just an example. You need to edit it according to your folders

Then press enter and wait the magic to happen 🥇

Few question what does
Corepack enable do?

Secondly after going to the src folder I could not help but think how the command line know does it know to begin running the program being at the source?

For example
yarn start --inputDir D:\Takeout --outputDir D:\Photos --errorDir D:\PhotosError

just from this line what lets it know to run this program? is it the start part?
