Best way to set EXIF data in JPEGs

Any suggestions/recommendations on the best way to SET EXIF data in a set of
JPEG files using PowerShell?

Thanks!

It is not PowerShell but its the closest I could get.
There are some links to get EXIF with PowerShell but not to SET them.

Yeah, I see some libraries out there to read
(http://www.codeplex.com/DotNetLibrary) but not write at first glance.

Here's another EXE option: http://www.exiv2.org/

Another c# option: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/GDI-plus/ImageInfo.aspx

I got nuthin' easy...

That depends on the context.

If this is a quick-and-dirty solution to a problem, then the tool Marco
mentioned, ExifTool, seems to be the best answer.

If this is a big picture question, it's a big can of worms. : ( The
Wikipedia page on EXIF seems to present a good overview of the problems
(OEM-specific details, use of pointers within data files, etc.):
